Im trying to download a photo from an rs232 camera.. but when I write the data to file it seems corrupted.. when I look in a hex editor every second value is 00..
I'm assuming Im messing something up with the encoding.. when I'm writing into a byte array..
Dim InPacket(0 To 2000) As Byte
Dim photo As Byte()
Dim x As Integer = 0

I have a folder with some fotos in it. all i'm trying to do is make a program in whitch you can write the name of a foto in a textbox, click the "Search" button and find that picture in that folder and then show it in a picturebox in the form.(the program will search only in one specific folder) i used PictureBox1.ImageLocation but that only shows the foto you specify in the command.

I'm trying to receive data from the serial port and display onto a text box in my gui in vb. I'm using xp pro sp2 and vb 2008 exp.What i've done so far:
- I'm able to send data successfully (tested) to the serial port
- I can dispaly what data is being sent (tested)
Steps taken:
- I have looked around on this forum for something similar to what I have but no similar posts are here
- Will look into MSDN help shortly
- Will also try some vb books I have lying around. But the problem is most of the vb books deal with sql server and database stuff and not really interfacing to hardware.

I need to communicate with a PLC in serial port. PLC sends 4 possible data: 0, 1, 2 or 3 (which are status).My vb.net program uses IO.Ports.SerialPort class. When I read the data, the "1" and "2" are good, but the "0" and "3" are received as "?". I tried all the Read method (ReadByte, ReadExisting, Read, etc), it always give the same result. In HyperTerminal, it's fine.I made a test program in another computer (Win 7). Test was perfect, I received all 4 status correctly. I ran the same test program on the original computer (Win XP) and once again, I got the "1" et the "2" but the "0" and the "3" was "?" (ascii 63).
View 1 RepliesI have created a program to send and receive data from a serial port, some of the data needs to be stored in certain strings for a export to excel. However the data takes while to to send be sent back. So in order to get the right information in the right strings I have to put pauses in my code. I have added a timer to my form:
On my timer's tick event I have the following code:
Public Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
iTick = iTick + 1
End Sub
I am writing a VB based program which will receive data from a Micrcontroller (programmed in C) via UART. The data that is transmitted from the Microntroller can be displayed on Hyperterminal when I set it up with the correct settings (Baud, Parity etc), so I know that Microcontroller end is working fine. The VB-based program however (written in Visual Studio 2010 Express), does not however receive any data and I always get the TimeOut exception (despite the fact that Microcontroller is sending data via UART, I have an onboard LED to indicate this). Here is the VB code, it is an adapted version from the MSDN library:

I need to send data via serial and wait for and answer (VB.NET).Right now i'm doing it this way:SerialPort1.Write(sel & Chr(13))Thread.Sleep(50)aaa = SerialPort1.ReadExisting()If i do not thread.sleep, i get nothing, i supose it's because the machine is too fast.
View 1 RepliesI am working on a project to receive and send data to a micro controller using a Visual Basic application. I am using Visual Studio 2008. I have done coding to send data on button click event.
But I am stuck at how to receive incoming data to serial port continually from MCU and store it to an integer or string type data in VB.
I have an application that receives incoming data from a Radio Equipment through a hardware modem. How can I replace the hardware modem? Could I use the PC Sound Card in place of the modem?
View 9 RepliesI have a USB modem that can detect caller ID and can detect dialled digits when special AT commands activated, How to send and receive data. The sent data will be the AT command such as AT+VCID-1 to activate the caller ID, the received data will be caller ID information and the digits dialed. I'm new to prgramming and using Visual Basic 2008 Express.
View 8 RepliesI am wondering is there any code to get the text reply from the modem? I am using the itegno W3800 modem. I have used the below method so far but apparently VB.NET windows form doesnt see the incoming data. The message box comes out empty. But when i try the same method with the TMAS Siemens GSM modem, VB.NET can see the incoming data and display out the data string.
here is the code that i have written:
serialPort.Write("AT" & vbCrLf) 'set command message format to text mode(1)
receiveddata = serialPort.ReadExisting()
it works for the TMAS gsm modem.
The baud rate for the TMAS GSM modem is 9600 and the baud rate for the itegno modem is 115200.
For the itegno modem, the data is sort of like stuck at the serial port as after every time i pressed on the button for example "AT"
this "AT" command gets "stuck" at the serialport and run only when i have connected through the serial port in hyper terminal.
I am thinking is it the baud rate for 115200 is too fast for VB to handle? And also is there any way to solve this problem?
i have to revert back to the itegno modem for use for my project at the end of the day.

I'm designing a very simple photo album program and need to be able to open an image using the system's default photo editor.
I got an app, which receives data via a R232 port, convert it to a string and on the other side I got a database, where the strings are saved. How can I find a way to compare the string with all strings in one database column and get back the another stringform the same row in this database. I never programmed a database

View 1 RepliesI have a program that I am making and need it to be able to search a folder (within a given path, e.g. C:UsersAdminMy Pictures) and return a count of all the files in the folder that are of a certain association, e.g. jpg, into a variable.
The reason I want to do this is to create a photo album (bit like what you see on facebook) where the program searches a folder for all jpg files and loads the count into a variable. Then the user can scroll through the jpg's. I can already get the scrolling bit not a problem but that is only when I manually set the file count myself. Below is the code I use but I need to automate the maximum file count

I am working on a porject that interlinks a PC and PIC using the USBtoUART programmer for Serial Communication.
I have just started using and reading the Book on Visual Basic 2008 Professional and read the book by ROD STEPHENS <VB 2008> Programmer's Reference.
However, I would like to know where should I start working from?
I personally want to start from building the Visual Basic interface that enables serial communication between PC and the USBtoUART converter.
