sending a hex file through serial port using vb.net? and i m not really sure the difference between sending data and sending a file, seems majority of the topics on the forum is about sending data via serial port.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to send a ctrl-x keystroke to COM2 and I ahve to code to open the port and read and write but when I tried to send Chr(Keys.ControlKey + Keys.X) it did not work
View 1 RepliesI 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......
I am trying to send a control string from VB.NET to a serial port. I am using a pololu trex jr. on the receiving end of the serial port. I have attached a copy of my current code which compiles without errors, but fails to send data. I can tell that it is not sending data because I have a light on the control board connected to the port and it normally blinks when data is received. The program that came with the board drives it perfectly but does not serve the purpose I need it to. I am open to any suggestions as I eventually plan to write a class to contain the control routines.
View 12 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 knew Serial ports are a type of computer interface that complies with the RS-232 standard. They are 9-pin connectors that relay information, incoming or outgoing, one byte at a time. Each byte is broken up into a series of eight bits, hence the term serial port.And I want to write a program chatting through Serial Port.
View 3 Repliesim very new to visual basic. as in i just started 2 days ago. Currently i have a little program written up that has a couple of radio buttons and then a submit button. when you select a radio button and click the submit button, a little message box with pop up and say "you selected such and such"
Well now im trying to make something that will send a string to arduino through the usb cable. Basically it will use the same set up as stated above but instead of a pop up message it will just send the string through the port. for example Radiobutton1 - when selected and submit button pressed will send "1" (no quotes) through the serial port Radiobutton2 - when select and submitted will send "1" and then maybe "3"
and so on and so. Some radio buttons will only send 1 string through them and some may send multiple. Now, i dont need help with arduino, i have that already set up to wait for the strings to come through the com port. just need to figure out how to do it in VB.
I want to send hex values across the serial port. I know, I know, your thinking not this again. But what I need to do does not seem to be addressed, or I am some how missing it when I search around.

I've set up two computers, with a null modem serial cable. When trying the connection in two Realterm windows it works ok to send strings.I'm trying to write a simple project that sends the timestring over the same port.One button sends the timestring. I've created one other sub "AppendLabel" that just updates a label.text so I can see what's happening.[code]
View 8 RepliesI have quite a bit of VB6 experience but now am trying to create my first VB.Net project. The project is very simple - it just needs to send 8-10 character strings from the PC serial port. The problem I'm seeing is that VB.Net is always sending out a 0x0A character after each 'WriteLine' call. Using VB6 it was necessary to manually send out any End Of Line characters. My application requires that no extra EOL characters be sent after the string.
View 2 RepliesI am supposed to make a software for data logging via serial port but the hardware is expected to be delayed and iam required to continue with the programming of the software. What i need is that by some mechanism i want to send data on serial port (COM port) and after delay of some mili seconds i want to detect that data. I actually want to do this because i want to create environment like my software i intercepting COM port and on receiving data it captures the data values on port and record them to database. I have done most the work, the only thing left which i want is as above how i will send data on COM port (this was to actually to be done by hardware) and detect it in my program (same program from which data was sent). Please guide from where should i start.
View 3 RepliesHow do I send XML commands in vb to get data received over a serial Port?
I know the commands I'm just not sure how to send them.
I am currently sending data via a serial port to an AVR microcontroller. I've tried searching the forums here first but haven't found any posts that specifically deal with what I'm trying to do. Here's some additional information that might help before proceeding:
Sendbox = textbox
ReceiveBox = listbox
ReceiveChk = checkbox
I currently have it setup so I enter hex data in Sendbox, click the button, it sends the data to the AVR micro via the serial port, which gets repeated back through the serial port and receives the hex data in the ReceiveBox. I want to be able to setup something similar so I am able to input data into a textbox as binary and have it sent to the AVR that way.
I realize it will send the same data whether I enter it in hex or binary form. I just want the option of being able to send it in either form.
Below is my code.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SendButton.Click
SerialPort1.Open()

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.

View 14 RepliesI am new to VB .NET, now studing VB2008.Being an 8051 microcontroller enthusiast my dream is to program an at89c51 with my own device. This requires one GUI that can communicate with the device programmer via serial port. I have found the post "Serial Port Communication in VB.Net" by PsychoCoder at I have already built an interface in VB6 that can open and save .hex type text files which is in Intel Hex Format. I trying to do the same with VB .NET. Upto this everything seems alright.I do not under stand how to send this hex bytes to serial port as this is in reality is a text file and their ascii values represents a different value other than they looks
View 1 RepliesI 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.
