Receive Wrong Caracters From Serial Port?
Dec 15, 2011
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).

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 am having problem receiving data from serial port. Btw, I am new to Visual studio 2010 too.
I do a test program on my PIC so that when button1 press, it will send character "Y" to visual studio; when button2 press, it will send character "N" to visual studio. I know for VS 2010, sending data out is by the command

I 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:

Anyone else have an issue using read, It appears when I use read it gives me the correct buys but returns the wrong integer value So I use it and it fills the Array i make with &h10, &h6 but read reutnrs number of bytes returned to 1. if there a better way to go with Vb.net with RS232 I mean really my projet dosent have anything out of the Normal

I 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 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.

I 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 made my program and now I just need to add in the serial and trial part of the application. I know the application must connect to the host and go to a txtfile. How would i do the trial and serial. Also If the serial is already activated I want the application to reject that Serial and Count how many times they entered in a wrong serial.

I have a stand alone VB.Net 2005 application that uses a serial port that generally stays open while the application runs on a Windows XP system. In trying to bullet-proof the UI, I ran into a problem when the USB to Serial Converter normally used to provide the serial port is disconnected while the serial port is open. In trying to handle the resulting error when accessing the port, I find I cannot close the port.
When trying to do so, the error message says something like "unable to close the port. You may not have sufficient permissions." Reconnecting the USB/Serial Converter does not reactivate the port.

Im having problem with the Serial Port. When i run my program, "Access to the port 'COM1' is denied". What does that mean? Im not sure whats happening because theres no error in my code. Someone suggest me to use 'COM2'. Which is also the same result. I have a microcontroller, programmed and run it. And i need to capture the data onto my vb, which is on a multiline textbox. How to i do that?Just to double check my code?

I am trying to send and receive data through a USB port on my computer to an external microcontroller.
I built most of the code using the "serial class" but then i read that this would not work with a USB port.
How would I go about communicating with this USB port on my computer?
