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?

Basically I need to send the hex command FA through a COM port.
I have added the com port and set the baud etc and all seems to be working well there. I am just a little unsure how to send the correct hexadecimal command. For example,
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
SerialPort1.Open()
[Code].....

I am writing a VB.NET app that has a piece which needs to send a small command to comm port 2 and get the return result. The problem is .NET doesnt have any support for serial communication seems like.
I just need to send the command "headtype" and get the result.

I have recently developed a serial port communication program to access my hardware firewall and its connected to the device via a converter usb to rs232head plugged to a rs232 to an ethernet cable. this ethernet cable then plugs into the device console port.
my program functions similar to that of TeraTerm. an opensource hyperterminal program written in C++ but i decided to do one for vb.net
Alright to cut the story short, i have successfully coded out the program to accept incomming data from the device but however, i'm also receiving ansi escape sequence along with it and i have no idea how i could implement codes to remove these. i have spend 3 weeks trying to look for vt100 emulation codes written in vb.net but i found none so far. most are written in c++. here's an image to illustrate the problem which im facing.
The image below is a screenshot taken when the i ran both the programs together. The bottom is tera term 3.1 and the top is my vb project which i made using msdn's example and improved on the codes. basically tera term was able to interpret those escape sequence and display accordingly to that of the vt100 terminal display. I have spent time reading on regular expressions using the inbuilt function regex in visual basic and tried parsing some strings but its not working. i guess its far more complex than i thought.

I have to send the user-input data to the serial port. From the serial port the Modbus controller reads the data in Modbus/RTU mode.Now consider the following:Private WithEvents sp as serialport Now when I send sp.Write "192" to the serial port, I was that the complete data go as one data packet. Instead what I find that when this data is sent to a hardware controller, I find that the serial port first transmits 1, then 9 and then 2. Because of this my modbus does not recognize this data and throws and error. I tried sending "12" and again i find that it goes as "1" and then "2". Is there any way to send the data as one data packet so that my modbus can read "192" as one data packet value and not as 3 data packets of 1, 9, and 2?

I am communicating to a device using a USB to serial port (VCP). I am having a problem with the usb failing. When the usb fails my app will lock up and the com port is lost. I have seen a post about this but cannot find it.

My current program can read in a continuous stream of data when initialized and I can send a command to retrieve the devices stored data, I also have within the same program code that will read an XML file and populate from controls.
I have two separate idea's right now that I'm trying to merge into one
I want to read in XML and populate my controls. I'm aware of delegate and Invoke but I'm having a hard time working them into my XML portion or the opposite "working my XML into my serial port class".

There seems to be a lot of discussion around about handling exeptions when a USB serial port device gets unplugged. What I want to know is how can one re-attach to it once it is plugged back in. The problem is that if you unplug a USB serial port device the app doesn't know it has gone and remains convinced it is still open. I have to close the app completely before I can re-attach to the device. I need a way to force it to close/go away.

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 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.
