Sending Hex Data Through Serial Port?

Mar 1, 2010

I am trying to send a command through my serial port to a external device. The format of the command frame is, more or less, like this:

'0x0A 0x03 0x20 0x00 Checksum'

What I've written on my code is just this:

VB code
num_dec = &HA + &H3 + &H20 + &H0
checksum = DecToHex(num_dec) '2D
data=&HA & &H3 & &H20 & &H0
SerialPort_RFID.Write(data & checksum)

The problem is that when I stop the program on the Serial...Write line, I see that the data I sent is on integer format instead of Hex format.

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 Data Into VB Through A Serial Port On Computer?

May 2, 2009

I am sending data into VB through a serial port on my computer, from a microcontroller. The data enters VB in an ASCII form, but I need it as a number. I can use the Asc command to convert numbers 0-127 however after this it dosent work. I believe this is becaus the ascii character map only goes through 127. So how can I convert the rest of the data (128-256) to a numbers?

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.

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

Dead Simple Example Of Sending Hex Data To A Serial Port?

Jul 6, 2011

I ran into this problem while trying to write a Pan/Tilt/Zoom controller program. I found some very complicated examples, but managed to put the pieces together into this simple test program.I first import System.IO.Portsthen I define a new serial port and give it the required parametersI open the com port when the form loadsI have two working buttons, one to pan left, one to stop panning. The hex commands are pre-configured.The one for Stop is A0 00 00 00 00 00 AF 0FThe one for Pan Left is A0 00 00 04 14 00 AF 1FI declare a byte array to contain the command bytes and put them into the correct position.

Send Data On Serial Port And Detecte It In Same Program?

Feb 24, 2011

I 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.

Error In Serial Port Data Capture Program In Visual Studios 2010?

Apr 11, 2012

I'm trying to make a rs232 serial data logging program, that accepts a 12 bit hex RFID tagID from an RFID module. My end objective is to save this RFID tagID into a database and assigned to a person for a personnel management system.I had to use button3 to add the value of the variable 'msg' into textbox1 because I was getting the following error "Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'TextBox1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on". It is a temporary workaround.When I do press button3, I get the incomplete hex number, instead of "4C00A2C82A0C", I get "A2C82A0C", and sometimes I get random digits like 1,A,C etc etc.

Sending Bytes From The Serial Port?

Aug 30, 2010

I'm working with a device using the serial port and i am sending a command from the pc to the device like this:

1. I Change the parity to mark

2. then send a byte

3. then Change the parity to space (here is the problem)

4. Send a lot of bytes

but the device just ignores all the last bytes, im pretty sure its a timing problems, so a timeout occurred attempting to send a command, how can i change the parity without losing time?

TCP Protocols - Sending Command To Specific Port On Same Computer

Mar 10, 2011

I am working on writing a program that needs to send a command to a specific port on the same computer, I have that working fine. There is another piece of software running that is listening to that port for some commands (read on).
Dim myTcpClient As New TcpClient
myTcpClient.Connect("127.0.0.1", 61225)
Dim networkStream As NetworkStream = myTcpClient.GetStream()

However when I try to send a command I get no response...
Dim outStream As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("0x33")
networkStream.Write(outStream, 0, outStream.Length)
networkStream.Flush()

I have been given a list of protocols that I need to send to that port. What I have been told is that the size (in byes) is 1 and the value is "0x33" with no parameters. I am completely new to sockets and sending data through tcp.

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?

The MsgBox() at the end shows the response, which as I've added to my script, echos the result from the $user and $pass variables which are supposed to retrieve those details being written to the stream above, but they show up empty.

I'm retrieving those values by doing: $user = $_POST["user"]; $pass = $_POST["pass"];

Program A USB Port?

Jun 5, 2012

I'm confused , in the old days if I wanted to access a parallel or serial port I would simply set up the appropriate registers and read/write to I/O Registers. but USB is a whole different animal. Lets assume I plug device X into a usb port How do I find where the pc, or manufacturer has placed it? If it's a ddl then what is my fetch? if it's a virtual port where do I find the virtual irq and read/write port? What if it's a dongle, where do I find it's read registers? what if it's an external piano, where do I find it's sound out read regs etc.
