i am a absolute beginner and i want to use vb to receive data from micro controller through serial port using rs232 standards, i found this code to receive the data serially, can any one tell me where should i paste this code, so that the data received will be displayed in message box.Private Sub DataReceived(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) HandlesSerialPort1.DataReceived

I am facing problem reading data from Serial port. Actually I am connecting with the hardware device called Crimp Force Analyzer. It gives the data on hyperterminal and I have to read that data from my <acronym title="Visual Basic">vb</acronym>.net program. The data is somewhat like this:

I'm currently working on a project where I am transmitting data from a comm device via the serial port and resorting the raw data (in binary) to its respective ascii values. The problem I'm facing is determining the most efficient method to accomplish my goal. Essentially, I have 68 bytes coming in, the first and second bytes represent the page and packet number and the data itself ranges from 3 to 64, the remaining for my checksum.
What I am needing to do is, grab 50 consecutive bytes per variable in my array, and that is where I'm confused. I have easily pulled my 3-64 bytes and stored that data to a string. I just don't know the most efficient method to accomplish my goal. Should I write directly to file all my data, as there are like 8 pages, of 128 packet data. [Code] I can capture the the first 50 by using a for-loop easily, but what would be the preferred method to track what data chunk I've taken? The more I think about it, I think I may just want to write to file, all my data, and then just take them back to back in 50 byte chunks. Is that the most efficient method?

I am having a little trouble receiving data via the serial port. I can send just fine. I am using Serial Port object.
Basically my data expected is in the form of: [0x43 0x35 0x64 0x35...] broken up into bytes. I tried using the SerialPort.Read() function but can't get it to work.
I am trying to recieve HEX data from a seriall device. Code is as below . but the required output is not correct. Some chracter code are not correct even in decimal . like for 80 i recieved 3F and for c0 also.for example i recived a string .
10 02 3F 00 10 03 3F 61
but in actual data should be

i am doing a project in vb 2008 .net.during execution of the code, a different number is generated every second. the numbers are either 0,1,2,3,4, or 5. how do i send this number every second to the serial port. at the serial port i have a microcontroller connected which should accept this number and light up an LED coresponding to the number received.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to send a command through my serial port to a external device. The format of the command frame is, more or less, like this:
'0x0A 0x03 0x20 0x00 Checksum'
What I've written on my code is just this:
VB code
num_dec = &HA + &H3 + &H20 + &H0
checksum = DecToHex(num_dec) '2D
data=&HA & &H3 & &H20 & &H0
SerialPort_RFID.Write(data & checksum)
The problem is that when I stop the program on the Serial...Write line, I see that the data I sent is on integer format instead of Hex format.
I've searched in the forum thread for my needs, and I couldn't find any. So here is my problem. I need to monitor the data passing trough serial communication, between local serial port and some device with an application written in vb.netThe idea is to see the data without opening the port.For example I want to start the program, choose the serial port that I want to monitor, and then to start some other application that opens the serial port, and start to send data. Another device "answers", and I want to see the the sent and received data from the first program, and the process that opens the port.I thought that I can use the serial port event "DataReceived", but actually nothing happens. I think my approach is wrong. CHere is my code:
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form2
Private WithEvents sp As Ports.SerialPort

I used this code in the pass with VB6 to send hex data over the serial port to a microcontroller.
MSComm1.Output = "C"
Send command ID
MSComm1.Output = Chr$("1") Send Command Parameter
MSComm1.Output = Chr$(CStr(240)) Send CR
I need to convert the code using VB2010, but Chr$ is not available, and anything I tried will not send the actual ascii code character......
the problem I am having is probably mainly because of I am very new at VB.net, anyway, the thing is, I am able to receive data from microcontroller successfully. The format of the data coming from the Microcontroller is shown below
0,2 1023,1023 1023,1023 1023,1023
1,5 1023,1023 1023,1023 1023,1023
2,8 1023,1023 1023,1023 1023,1023

View 1 RepliesI just need to write data to serial port to control a toy car
Moving left, right, forward, back.
I have the following code that listens to a serial port and writes the incoming data to a listview control (the serial data are a delimited string taht arrives once per second that I parse into separate listview subitems). I would like to be able to close/disconnect the serial port once a specific value in the incoming string is detected. For example, in this case one of the columns of data in the incoming string represents depth, I would like to close the serial port when the depth falls below a given number. I have tried the code below, but my program crashes on the SerialPort.CLose method.

I can read data from the serial port (GPS receiver). Its just 2 lines of data every 0.5 seconds. Whats the best method to read the data and display it in a TextBox?
If I use:
DLdate = SerialPort1.Readline()
Then I don't get the new line character, and it just over writes on just one line of the TextBox.
Also, should I time the grab of data, or is there a better way? Should I create a buffer, and when the buffer is full then do a write?
i'm designing this window application wherby it has to get the data from serial port and new data will be display at the textbox.my textbox namely textbox1, textbox2.. till 20.so when 1st data comes in, it will be place to textbox1 then when 2nd data comes in, it will be place at textbox2 and so on.
Now. Should i place the data as array and do textbox array or is there a way to put the data as the for loop runs?i've tried using for loop and textbox + 1 but its not working.
I have spend about a week trying to get data from this radio set through a modem and a serial port. The data is transmitted by the transmitter in 5-databits at baud rate of 50. An existing vb 6.0 program in windows 98 receives the data correctly with port settings of Speed = 50, Databit = 5, Parity = none and Stop bit = one. The data is received at every 9 sec, presumably with the help of a timer. I have to write a program in .net frame work 2.0 to get the same data. My problems are:
1. The program hangs when I execute SerialPort1. ReadLine().Trim or SerialPort1.ReadExisting
2. When I collect SerialPort buffer after every 9Sec, and try to get the strings out of each byte using following code, I get only repeated squares instead of characters.
