I am trying to parse incoming data from a serial port that appears to be XML format but a few problems arise when going from a simulated setup to the real deal. I first made a this program at home using a serial port emulator and com port connector program that reads from a text file and then sends it through the com port, I then read it from the com port it is connected to it. My program is able to parse the incoming XML perfectly fine, I'm using an XML Literals syntax.
The problem I run into is when I setup my program with the device and try and parse the data that is coming out of it. The data I receive sometimes has a few lines of garble before it starts seeing my expected XML. Of course these few lines of garbled text throws me an exception, but even when it appears I'm getting a good clean start of my XML data my program still throws exceptions such as "unexpected end of line 1 line number (different lines)" or "multiple root elements line 1".
Am I going about this the right way? using XML Literals to process my XML string properly or should I use something else that will allow for not well formed XML? or am I just missing something. My device outputs data every 500ms and I can poll my device for stored data. An example of what I am receiving sometimes and what I am expecting is below. "The first few lines of text sometimes appear and sometimes don't" [Code]
I 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
i am a absolute beginner and i want to use vb to receive data from micro controller through serial port using rs232 standards, i found this code to receive the data serially, can any one tell me where should i paste this code, so that the data received will be displayed in message box.Private Sub DataReceived(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) HandlesSerialPort1.DataReceived
The link below has code to connect to a modem thru the serial port but it is for an earlier version of VB. when I convert the code, it does not fully convert and has 4 errors that prevent building the project. can someone tell me what needs to be changed or added?
I am facing problem reading data from Serial port. Actually I am connecting with the hardware device called Crimp Force Analyzer. It gives the data on hyperterminal and I have to read that data from my <acronym title="Visual Basic">vb</acronym>.net program. The data is somewhat like this:
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?
how to write code to read data from the serial port. I have a microcontroller connected to the serial port and I need the C++ program to read the input and to perform a certain task according to the information.
I want a text box in my application that will display the data currently coming from the serial port,So if i will send ascii "hello" from another computer on my program it will diaplay "hello".
I am using a VB.NET(VS2010) to read data from serial port. I have 8-bit data to collect through rs232. This data is represented numbers. What reading method should I use and how to convert it to double format?
I am having a little trouble receiving data via the serial port. I can send just fine. I am using Serial Port object.
Basically my data expected is in the form of: [0x43 0x35 0x64 0x35...] broken up into bytes. I tried using the SerialPort.Read() function but can't get it to work.
I am trying to recieve HEX data from a seriall device. Code is as below . but the required output is not correct. Some chracter code are not correct even in decimal . like for 80 i recieved 3F and for c0 also.for example i recived a string .
10 02 3F 00 10 03 3F 61 but in actual data should be 10 02 80 00 10 03 c0 61
i am doing a project in vb 2008 .net.during execution of the code, a different number is generated every second. the numbers are either 0,1,2,3,4, or 5. how do i send this number every second to the serial port. at the serial port i have a microcontroller connected which should accept this number and light up an LED coresponding to the number received.
I've searched in the forum thread for my needs, and I couldn't find any. So here is my problem. I need to monitor the data passing trough serial communication, between local serial port and some device with an application written in vb.netThe idea is to see the data without opening the port.For example I want to start the program, choose the serial port that I want to monitor, and then to start some other application that opens the serial port, and start to send data. Another device "answers", and I want to see the the sent and received data from the first program, and the process that opens the port.I thought that I can use the serial port event "DataReceived", but actually nothing happens. I think my approach is wrong. CHere is my code:
Imports System.IO Public Class Form2 Private WithEvents sp As Ports.SerialPort
the problem I am having is probably mainly because of I am very new at VB.net, anyway, the thing is, I am able to receive data from microcontroller successfully. The format of the data coming from the Microcontroller is shown below
I use ReceiveSerialData() function to get a string (20 byte of 8 bit data) from serial portBut I faild and got the error "operation has timeout". I am new in VB 2010
I'm having problem while writing data to serial port. This piece of code is meant to write all the integer numbers in a text file to the SerialPort (connected to a USB-Serial Converter) when StartButton is clicked. However, it only managed to send two numbers and stopped at "USBSerialPort.Write(t, 0, 2)".
Private Sub StartButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles StartButton.Click USBSerialPort.DiscardOutBuffer()
I am trying to read data from serial com1 port. Now, I am not sure how to send. I found so many method to send but that are not so good and I cann't read any data. I am using VB.net 2005. Which is the best way and how can I read and send?
I have the following code that listens to a serial port and writes the incoming data to a listview control (the serial data are a delimited string taht arrives once per second that I parse into separate listview subitems). I would like to be able to close/disconnect the serial port once a specific value in the incoming string is detected. For example, in this case one of the columns of data in the incoming string represents depth, I would like to close the serial port when the depth falls below a given number. I have tried the code below, but my program crashes on the SerialPort.CLose method.
dim m_strOBS() as string Private Sub SerialPort_OBS_DataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) _

I can read data from the serial port (GPS receiver). Its just 2 lines of data every 0.5 seconds. Whats the best method to read the data and display it in a TextBox? If I use:
DLdate = SerialPort1.Readline()
Then I don't get the new line character, and it just over writes on just one line of the TextBox.
Also, should I time the grab of data, or is there a better way? Should I create a buffer, and when the buffer is full then do a write?
i'm designing this window application wherby it has to get the data from serial port and new data will be display at the textbox.my textbox namely textbox1, textbox2.. till 20.so when 1st data comes in, it will be place to textbox1 then when 2nd data comes in, it will be place at textbox2 and so on.
Now. Should i place the data as array and do textbox array or is there a way to put the data as the for loop runs?i've tried using for loop and textbox + 1 but its not working.
