I have a gps logger which store the gps data into its internal memory .I have a description file for the data format and how to send commands to the logger to get data . this file is present at the following website L [URL]
I need to make a vb.net application that can download data from the gps logger . and to set its configuration parameters .
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:

The main problem is I couldn't display the result when I retrieve data from database.
1. On Picture 1 above, for the Dg_Details, I set the Columns in two type, textbox and checkbox. But, for the datagridview1, I didn't set anything.So, when I bind data from database to Dg_Details and datagridview1, the datagridview1 display the data from database, but the Dg_Details doesn't display the data. Below is the code I written in my form :
Try
objCommand = Me.MyConnection_F.open.CreateCommand
objCommand.CommandText = "select Reg_Num, Reg, Golf, Course_1, Course_2, Course_3, Course_4, Course_5 from Invoice_Reg where Receipt_No = '00001'"[code].....
I think that's happen because the Dg_Details already set and it blocked the result data from database.
I am using serial port class from VB.net to communicate my hardware. Some times I may lost or get incorrect data. I am just wondering how to implement hardware flow control in Vb.net

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.

I have a device that communicates with the pc via a serial to usb cable. So I have made windows form with a serial communication to speak with it. The communication is every 125ms so every time it checks if the com port is open and sends the new message. The problem is that if the usb is not connected the program tries every 125 ms to connect to the serial port and the busy cursor appears always and the form is not responding to any action (for example enter into the menu or refresh a listbox). I have tried multiple times to connect and disconnect the usb while the program is running. That's mean that the serial connection stopped and started all over again several time. The problem is that occasionally it shows an error "unable to open com port".

I am using two serial port in my programm.What is want is, i need to receive data from one port and send on another port and vice a versa.This code receive data from one port but can't receive data from another port. I have tried to simulate this code by using hyper terminal and it works properly with both com port. Where as i have written code in Vb6 too and its is giving same problem as giving interupt while recieved data from one port but not giving interupt which receiving from another port. I know the another way to receive data is by using timer and read data by command as readline(), but what to do to make both the port gives interupt which receive data.Please help to find out the porblem, the code is in Vb.net and it is as under.[code]

View 1 RepliesI am trying to get serial port communication working between two PC's.
My environment is: XP SP3, 9 pin serial ports on both ends, connected by a null modem cable, Visual Basic 2010 Express.
I have a sending routine and a receiving routine, both based on the on line documentation.
There are no Errors, Warnings or messages.
Problem: The receiving machine shows no sign of receiving a message sent by the sending PC. I have tried making the sending PC into the receiving PC - makes no difference.
My sending routine looks like this:

'Send string to serial port

is there any limitation for data taken from serial connection??
I want to take a number such as 600 (0x0258) and send these hex values to a C-based system which is assigning char's to the received bytes and rebuilding to the original number. Currently, I am converting to bytes in VB.Net but it is not giving me the expected outcome (because of the ascii nature of the transfer most likely) [Code] I've also tried using Hex but this doesn't get the data in the correct format.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to interface an instrument that I send orders to.An order consists of 4 lines which I am to write to the serial port one at a time and receive an ACK before sending the next line.I have interfaced in the past using the MSCOMM, I'm new to the Serial Port class. But even then I've always received data, never sent anything.My question is when I'm looping through my 4 lines of my order, at what point do I receive ACK? Obviously, not in the same function, right? And how do I know I received an ACK and can go on to output the next line?

I'm trying to read data coming from a serial port. I simply want to ignore all other data besides the string "button_pushed". The device actually writes "button_pushed" to clean up the display when viewing the serial connection from console or similar. I can change this easily but I'd like to keep it if possible.
My code is as follows:

I'll get an IOException from readLine(). I tried using readExisting() which prevented the error but results in the block being executed twice (probably caused by the "") so the log reads "No data match" and "Data match" for one button push.I have a few questions. First, why does ReadLine cause an exception? I tried to negate that with is_closing but it still occurs. Second, will I run into problems using readExisting as it reads the entire buffer?

View 3 RepliesI am working on an application on serial port communication with PLC machine. Now this communication is only done with one PLC at a time. So I m sending a query to PLC and until its responds back the application goes into wait mode. i.e. no other operations can be done, and an hourglass cursor should be displayed with all other components locked on the form. So how do I achieve this using vb.net?

I try to use it in a project I am working on but somethings are not clear to me.
1: Now the send and received data is shown in one RichTextBox but I would like to split this into two RichTextBoxes (RtbSend and RtbReceived).It is unclear to me how and were data is assigned to the RichTextBox?
2. the received data is shown in the Richtextbox as one long line, I would like to get a new line for every send message.So for example: I I send "test" four times, I would like to see:
Test
Test
Test
Test
now I see: Test Test Test Test I've tried ctrlf but this does not work.The example describes that "comPort_DataReceived" is executed when data is waiting in the buffer. Where can I see the eventhandler responsible for this? How does it know data is waiting?The problem is this kind of coding is a bit to difficult for me. I want to understand the code before I implement it into my project.
