Reading Output From A Serial Device In Visual Studio 2010?
Aug 31, 2011Using visual studio 2010 on a PC running Windows XP SP3 (32bit) I am trying to read the output from a serial device but only get timed out error?If I open hyper terminal I can see the output, so the hardware and connections are good and the command to send data is working as well?When debugging I have no errors, when the program is run (in debugging mode) I get a timed out error from after the do loop (test=2) All I want to do is have my device output printed to TextBoxLockOut.Text? Note "comstring" grabs my com port the serial device is using - on this computer it is com4, it is a public string

VB 2003 - Handling Data - Transmitting Data From A Comm Device Via Serial Port
Nov 10, 2009I'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?

View 1 RepliesGet Custom Data From USB HID Device?
Aug 4, 2010I've created a custom USB device using a PIC18F4550 and I'm having trouble with reading information from the device. The device sends reports without a request from the application as 64 bytes. I'm relatively new to VB and this is my first foray into USB as well... It's not going good. I've set the Vendor ID to Hex 1234 and the Hardware ID to Hex 0001. I've used different libraries and the timer to check for incoming reports, but I can't seem to figure it out. I've waded through pages of USB Complete and all kinds of code for mice and barcode scanners, but nothing so far that will do anything for my device.. how I can register the device and get the raw report from the device and display it in a text box

Obtaining Data From Proprietary USB / HID Device?
Jan 22, 2011What is the best way to go about retrieving data from a proprietary hardware device that interfaces via HID USB? The particular device I need the data from is a blood-pressure/heartbeat measurement & monitoring device.The hardware came with software that downloads the data from the device and places that data into a (passworded/encrypted) MS Access database that I cannot connect to using programmatic methods, at least not without having the (admin's) password. The software provided produces reports, but the formatting renders them virtually useless (well, completely useless) for the needs of our company.
The device manufacturer provides to it's customers no API or any other technical information for accessing the data produced by their product; so, this pretty much leaves me stuck trying to figure out how to obtain the data via custom application in order to reclaim the initial justification for the expense associated with the hardware, which by the way has already been purchased.I don't need code snippits specifically, though examples would be nice; what I really need is to know is how to best approach this project, from a general design and programming stand-point.

Nov 30, 2010I am trying to read data from an external device using MSComm control but the problem is I am getting wrong data. I am recieving 1 byte data but the first three bits are wrong so anything greater than 31 sent from the external devices is recieved wrongly. eg. if I am sending 63(111111) from the device then the input from MSComm control gives me 159(10011111).Due to this reason I tried SerialPort from .Net framework and was surprised to see that it is working properly.

Mar 2, 2010I have 20-30 devices that I am connecting to and gathering data from. I want to display six or seven lines of data for each device on the same screen, then allow the user to click the object containing the device and show more detail on a separate form. There aren't any other programmers where I work and am looking for advice on how most efficiently to implement this. I have tried TableLayoutPanels, Datagrids, Textboxes, ListBoxes and I am probably not implementing them right, but they don't seem to be getting me where I want to go. I am also trying to stay away from hardcoding objects onto the screen.

Simulating Click On Human Interface Device And Retrieving Data
Apr 7, 2010I have USB device that is detected as human interface device (HID). The device has one button on it. I want to have more of same devices attached to one PC. I would like to simulate a click on that device (it is not a mouse!). It should be simple using Windows API, but I just can't seem to find an example or at least function that does that (I successfully found code that takes position of a MOUSE, and sends click to a MOUSE, but I need that for my HID). What i really need is an example how to simulate click on HID (something like joystick).Second question is a bit more complicated and I can't find a solution. The HID when button is clicked returns data (5-6 bytes). But data returned is immediately printed to the screen (like i typed it on keyboard) and it is followed by CR, however no data is left on clipboard. I don't know how to get that data to my program. Detecting keystrokes using Windows API (something like keylogger), or to make a control (richtextbox) and retrieve data from that control? Thou important notice is that my program is complicated, involves multithreading (cross-thread operations are a mess) and is TIME CRITICAL (as much as it can be on Windows - you get what I mean), so cross-thread access of control will slow me down a lot or even just won't work. Something like this:[code]Even if this problem is solved it still makes it buggy because user should be able to use GUI all the time.

View 2 RepliesSerialPort Escape String - Retrieving Data From A Device Connected To A Virtual Com-port
Aug 13, 2010I am writing a small app that is retrieving data from a device connected to a virtual com-port. I connect without problems to the device using the settings 9600-8-N-1.
I need to send the command <esc>MS , the device then sends back the data to a computer. I have tried this using Hyperterminal with success. I also did this with Excel and VBA. I used the MSComm32 Active X control:
MSComm1.Output = Chr$(27) + "M" + "S" + Chr$(13)
Msgbox(MSComm1.Input)
This made the data from the device pop up in a messagebox. I am writing a winforms app in vb.net, using VS2005. I have a form, on which I have a Placed a SerialPort control, named sp. My sample code is as follows:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal
sender As System.Object,
ByVal e
[CODE]...
This returns the error message "Error: expecting a command". I have done som tests in HyperTerminal, and have concluded with:
-If I dont send <esc>, I get error "Expecting a command"
-If I send wrong command (ie MD instead of MS) i get error "Bad command"
Based on this, I suspect that I don't pass the escape character correctly to my device. So I wonder how to do this?
Data Binding - Update The Grid Data By Reading The Array
Apr 2, 2012Data binding should be an extremely simple thing to manage but I can't find a SIMPLE solution to the following problem.
I have two forms
Form1 contains a 4x4 MSFlexGrid (unfortunately an unmanaged COM object but I can merge cells, which I can't do with a managed Datagrid)
Form2 contains other controls which change the data in the Flexgrid.
I connect the two with a Public 4x4 array. Form2 changes the data in this array. I can update the grid data by reading the array. But how do I bind the Grid to the array so that it auto-updates - which is the whole point of binding isn't it?
