I'm trying to read information from a device through COM Port.. Sometimes I receive information like:
[Code]...
how I can change that? or detect it so whenever the program receives that type of info it ignores it?
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.
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".

How can I open a communications port to read data from a wireless bluetooth device?
I have been doing some research into accessing devices on a USB port and it's kind of helped, but not really. From what I understand, I can use the IO.Port namespace to access a device on a USB port (usually). Let me know if this is incorrect.
First, I made a simple program that looped through the ports available. I get COM1 and COM3, but I have 4 USB ports. Where are the others?

I am working on a way to send commands to an Arduino board from a web site. The Arduino board is connected to the computer via a USB port (a COM port).
I have managed to connect and control the board using a VB.NET program. I also wrote a VB.NET class that can instantiate a COM connection and send and receive messages.
My next step is to basically create a program that will act as a proxy between my web server (IIS 7 running on Windows Vista) and the Arduino board. When a user gets to my ASP.NET page, the page will then send a command to the proxy to open the COM connection. When the connection is open and ready then I can send commands to the proxy. In turn, the proxy will send these commands to the board and listen for the responses it receives from the board. The proxy will then pass these messages back to the ASP.NET page.
The main issue I see occurring is that if a second user opens the web page and tries to open the COM port, there will be an error. Will this cause the first connection to fail? I guess I can first check if the port is already in use and give the second user a message. Are there any other potential challenges I am missing or not seeing?

View 5 RepliesThere 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.

View 4 RepliesOur company has setup several remote devices that link to a switch Whenever there are problems on the device, some technicans will replace it using a new one We have a vb program that can automatically update the device setup in our server when technicans replace devices. So we do not need to login and update the setting manually However, our program cannot handle the case that there are more than 1 device that need replacement Therefore, our idea is to retrieve the ip and port of the router/switch that links to remote device using VB.net.

I am writing a small app that is retrieving data from a device connected to a virtual com-port. I connect without problems to the device using the settings 9600-8-N-1.
I need to send the command <esc>MS , the device then sends back the data to a computer. I have tried this using Hyperterminal with success. I also did this with Excel and VBA. I used the MSComm32 Active X control:
MSComm1.Output = Chr$(27) + "M" + "S" + Chr$(13)
Msgbox(MSComm1.Input)
This made the data from the device pop up in a messagebox. I am writing a winforms app in vb.net, using VS2005. I have a form, on which I have a Placed a SerialPort control, named sp. My sample code is as follows:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal
sender As System.Object,
ByVal e
[CODE]...
This returns the error message "Error: expecting a command". I have done som tests in HyperTerminal, and have concluded with:
-If I dont send <esc>, I get error "Expecting a command"
-If I send wrong command (ie MD instead of MS) i get error "Bad command"
Based on this, I suspect that I don't pass the escape character correctly to my device. So I wonder how to do this?
