I am new to VB2008 Express, I have been trying to get data from the Serial port, i have tried for days to get it working. I have read lots of articles but most seem to be for Console applications and I am using an Application. All I am trying to do is create a form with a Textbox and this should display the data received from the serial port.
The data i am trying to receive is "ABC" on Com1 Can anyone either send me a project, as I am sure its something to do with how i am configuring it, or if thats not possible, show me in code?
I ve been reading forums all over the net for 2 weeks and I failed to find solution for my problem. here is my problem;
I am able to receive data from serial port in to richtextbox and its working fine .. what i wanna do is dislay data in textbox by spliting string[code]...
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 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.
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:
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 quick question regarding the serial port and timer tick event. Basically i have a micro processor connected to the PC via the serial port. With a baurd rate of 38400 set.When the PC sends the micro ":K + VBCRLF" the micro response with a string of information (ASCII encoded) and delimited with a "," and at the end of the transmission a cartridge return line feed is added.Example of sent string:
"12,1134,123,545,76,6868,34,232,1,2,3,6,7,8" These numbers are then split using the VB mystring.split(",") function into an array of strings, then the numbers are converted using ctype. After which my UI is then updated.I have Witten the code in a tick timer event using a timer count of 300ms. Although the program runs and the UI is updated i end it with lots of exception errors. I think allot of this is down to the serial port either timing out or not reading complete string.Or possibly the timer has not executed all the code before another tick event happens Even after adding a few try catch statements i am still having problems. Can anybody suggest a better way of doing it?I was thinking of using a do while loop and at the end a sleep function instead of the timer tick event.I need the speed as i am trying to read and display live data.
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
I'm trying to read a string(what's going on) from my Arduino and display it in either a label or text box. but its not wanting to display the characters, or string i want it to. So I could really Here's the code I have right now:
I'm working on a project involving reading RFID tags, I've written the code and it reads the tags ok by using the recieved data handler and displaying the result in a listbox, the only problem is that the data displayed has a couple of unreadable characters at the start (I'm using ReadLine() command.)If I read the buffer byte by byte the data is all readable.How can I read and display the whole 16 Bytes in one go??
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 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()
