Sending / Receiving Data To Serial Port

Aug 13, 2009

I'm trying to control a serial port device that both send and receives data. I can receive data quite happily from the serial port but I don't appear to be able to send data to the device. The device works perfectly as I can test it using putty, I open putty select serial and select 1200 baud, the device immediately lights up and can send and receive. However when the port is set up and opened in VB the device doesn't light up so I can't send data to it but can receive data from it. According to the instructions I need to send either ASCII 'X' Hex '$58' or Decimal '88' to make the device ready.

Code (VB Studio 2005) :-
Public Sub New(ByVal synchronisingObject As ISynchronizeInvoke)
ComPortUsed = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareNJB", "COMUSED", Nothing)
PricePerTrack = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareNJB", "PRICETRACK", Nothing)
Me.synchronisingObject = synchronisingObject

Sending/receiving Serial Port Data?

Feb 22, 2011

Opening and closing the port works fine, and as far as i can tell, the serial.write("blahblah") should be writing to the output buffer, but I am unable to test or verify this by reading it in. the commented "Receive data from serial port" and subsequent DoUpdate() function are where i am having trouble. It doesnt seem to actually be reading in the data if it is in fact writing it correctly.

Check When Serial Port Has Stopped Receiving Data?

Dec 20, 2009

What I am doing is creating an app to send and receive CNC programs to machine tools via the RS232 interface. At the moment I am testing the software with 2 laptops linked together through a cable I have made up. which all works. I have added a serial port to my form 1 and using the code below I can send and receive data. However with the send button I can open the comm port send the data and then close the comm port (No Problems there). With the receive button I want to open the comm port receive the data and close the comm port. The problem I have is checking when the app has finished receiving data so I can then close the comm port

Changing Form Controls After Receiving Serial Port Data?

Feb 13, 2009

first post here at the forums. I am a complete noob when it comes to VB .Net, but I have done a lot of VBA programming and some VB6 back in the day. I have posted this question on two other forums (including the MSDN forums) and no one has responded so please let me know if I need to clarify the question.

I am (trying) to write my first .net app which reads/writes data to a device connected over the serial port. I have manged to get it to work to send commands to the device and receive the reply back, mainly using the info from this article: Beth Massi - Sharing the goodness that is VB : Reading from a Serial Port and Saving to a Database

However, I am having problems with updating the controls on the main form based on the received data from the serial port. Basically I want the user to click a button (one of six on the form) which will send data to the device, then based on the response from the device, the BackColor of that particular button, will be changed accordingly. I just am missing something b/c the button click is a different sub than the sub that handles the form controls update and I can't get the two to talk

Receiving Command Codes Via Serial Port?

Jul 14, 2010

I am currently writing a console code that I will eventually create with a GUI. The problem I am currently having is that when a message I received to the port is an ASCII command code i.e. <BEL> <CR> then rather than printing these messages
it performs the command and I am unable to respond as per when the command is received. Is there a way to alter the code so I can see these messages or at least determine its been sent so I can respond to it?

VS 2010 - SerialPort Lagging - Serial Port Is Open And Waiting For Some Signals From The Dyno

Sep 9, 2010

I have things set up so that the program is ready to start logging ,only when Recieving=true.This is controlled with Button1. So I click button1,Serial port is open and waiting for some signals from the Dyno.When 1 signal come it put a "1" in TextBox1 ,and for the second a "2" and so on. Thing is sometimes it starts right away, like I want it to,and sometimes it lags a fraction of a second, even though the Port is open.When it lags there are already 5 to 10 signals gone by before it starts logging 1,2,3,...and so on. Sometimes it don't start at all.Then I have to close and re-open the form and it works,but with lagging on the first "set"

"Textbox1 > 0 then" triggers a timer (not seen in this code)that samples Textbox1 once pre interval and writes the value to a listbox. On the upside as soon as a "1" is displayed in textbox1 the timer starts like it's supposed to.I noticed this behaviour before I added the timer and besides the timer has nothing to do with the signals coming from the SerialPort. I have my form setup so I can run "sets".Run one "set"...save...reset...run another "set" ...and compare.It's always the first "set" thats off.If I run multiple "sets" the first one is completely "whacked", and the rest are consistent.

Think this could be the SerialPort lagging,or code problems?

Public Class Form1

Dim resetValues As Boolean = False
Dim RPM As Double

Serialport.Readexisting Different Behavior?

Mar 10, 2010

I'm using the following to read a serial port. When run it displays the data correctly but stepping through the program I find that it loops through the serialdatarecieved event for each character of the port input rather than reading all of it. So _msg only equals one letter at a time. I'm trying to set a variable equal to the entire input stream but only get one character of it.The end goal is to capture all of the data available on the port when the event triggers so that this data can then be processed. I tried using the bytestoread function, which gets the correct number of bytes to read, and then looped through to read a byte at a time but that didn't seem to work as I expected either. It just kept reading the first byte.

Imports System.IO.Ports

VS 2008 Sending And Receiving Data Via Com Port?

Aug 16, 2010

I have a very basic knowledge of coding, just enough to understand some PicBASIC Pro and program a microchip to send the values of some variables to a PC via the com port. I've used a terminal utility like Hyperterm to confirm the right variables are being sent, so I thought it would be cool to have a custom application on the PC to display these variables, and possible set them via the application by writing the new one back to the PIC. So I downloaded VB express 2008 - and whilst it was "simple" to draw a box and add a few text boxes I'm lost at how to actually do anything practical with it

[Code]...

Could someone advise me in laymens terms exactly what I need to do inorder to populate the text boxes with the data from the PIC micro. Whilst I understand the basics about BASIC, I have no idea on things like classes etc

SerialPort Escape String - Retrieving Data From A Device Connected To A Virtual Com-port

Aug 13, 2010

I 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?

VB 2003 - Handling Data - Transmitting Data From A Comm Device Via Serial Port

Nov 10, 2009

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?
