VS 2008 Sending And Receiving Data Via Com Port?
Aug 16, 2010
I have a very basic knowledge of coding, just enough to understand some PicBASIC Pro and program a microchip to send the values of some variables to a PC via the com port. I've used a terminal utility like Hyperterm to confirm the right variables are being sent, so I thought it would be cool to have a custom application on the PC to display these variables, and possible set them via the application by writing the new one back to the PIC. So I downloaded VB express 2008 - and whilst it was "simple" to draw a box and add a few text boxes I'm lost at how to actually do anything practical with it
[Code]...
Could someone advise me in laymens terms exactly what I need to do inorder to populate the text boxes with the data from the PIC micro. Whilst I understand the basics about BASIC, I have no idea on things like classes etc

I'm trying to control a serial port device that both send and receives data. I can receive data quite happily from the serial port but I don't appear to be able to send data to the device. The device works perfectly as I can test it using putty, I open putty select serial and select 1200 baud, the device immediately lights up and can send and receive. However when the port is set up and opened in VB the device doesn't light up so I can't send data to it but can receive data from it. According to the instructions I need to send either ASCII 'X' Hex '$58' or Decimal '88' to make the device ready.
Code (VB Studio 2005) :-
Public Sub New(ByVal synchronisingObject As ISynchronizeInvoke)
ComPortUsed = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareNJB", "COMUSED", Nothing)
PricePerTrack = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareNJB", "PRICETRACK", Nothing)
Me.synchronisingObject = synchronisingObject

Opening and closing the port works fine, and as far as i can tell, the serial.write("blahblah") should be writing to the output buffer, but I am unable to test or verify this by reading it in. the commented "Receive data from serial port" and subsequent DoUpdate() function are where i am having trouble. It doesnt seem to actually be reading in the data if it is in fact writing it correctly.

Currently I had write a simple VB code, my aim is when i click "Forward" button then the vb will send a character "A" to PIC, "Reverse" button will send "B" so I write my vb code for sending as below:
Dim Forward As Char = "A"
SerialPort1.Open()
SerialPort1.Write(Forward)
For the receiving part, after I received the data from PIC then I will show it at the label which act it as a screen. the receiving code as below:
SerialPort1.Open()
receive = SerialPort1.ReadChar()
If receive = "A" Then[code]....

I need to control a device with a GPIB port. I have the commands that I need to use to do this; but I don't know which is the sintaxis in Visual Basic.
For example if I need to send a instruction like "START:0.01" to the external device which are the libraries that I have to include?, how should I write the programming line to do this?
The main tasks that I need to program are sending data, receiving data, and saving data

I am developing an application which is pretty much a replacement of a hyperterminal. I am trying to send commands to the serial port using MSComm in VB6.0 When I type in on the hyperterminal h003128 I get a response OK. Or when I type in i003 it displays back some values.
What I am trying to figure out how do I send the h003128 via VB6. I believe I've undertood how to send data to the port. It seems I am not getting the correct formate. This wont work.. the formate iAAADDD where i = i AAA = 003 and DDD = 128 MSComm1.Output "i003128"

What I am doing is creating an app to send and receive CNC programs to machine tools via the RS232 interface. At the moment I am testing the software with 2 laptops linked together through a cable I have made up. which all works. I have added a serial port to my form 1 and using the code below I can send and receive data. However with the send button I can open the comm port send the data and then close the comm port (No Problems there). With the receive button I want to open the comm port receive the data and close the comm port. The problem I have is checking when the app has finished receiving data so I can then close the comm port
Private Sub Btn_Send_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Btn_Send.Click

I have serial port object which continuously receiving data from weighing device, which sends data in 0001450= format (8 Bytes). I read about datareceived event, and implement that, but i must use Thred.Sleep to get all data and read with serial.ReadExisting. Does the ReadBytesTreshold=8 raised DataReceived event after 8 bytes of data??
Is there any way to cancel, abort, stop DataReceived event?

first post here at the forums. I am a complete noob when it comes to VB .Net, but I have done a lot of VBA programming and some VB6 back in the day. I have posted this question on two other forums (including the MSDN forums) and no one has responded so please let me know if I need to clarify the question.
I am (trying) to write my first .net app which reads/writes data to a device connected over the serial port. I have manged to get it to work to send commands to the device and receive the reply back, mainly using the info from this article: Beth Massi - Sharing the goodness that is VB : Reading from a Serial Port and Saving to a Database
However, I am having problems with updating the controls on the main form based on the received data from the serial port. Basically I want the user to click a button (one of six on the form) which will send data to the device, then based on the response from the device, the BackColor of that particular button, will be changed accordingly. I just am missing something b/c the button click is a different sub than the sub that handles the form controls update and I can't get the two to talk

I'm writing a GUI-based app in VB.net that talks to a LambdaMOO server via telnet, sends commands to display the object hierarchy, then parses the output and creates a visual representation of the object hierarchy.So my question is: is there some kind of "telnet client" class for .NET to simplify the sending and receiving of data, or do I have to write my own using the socket API?

My latest project requires both sending and receiving emails. Now i know how to send emails using a gmail account, but what im having incredible difficulty with, is accepting emails. What i want, is to have a program that both has the ability to send emails, and capture emails being sent to the logged in user, and place them in an inbox list. I was wondering if anyone knew how to receive emails with a program, even temporarily, so that when an email is sent to the user, my program knows about it, and can take the body from the email, and place it in say a textbox.

I used the tool about 3 years ago to create the classes for a webservice client to send or recieve arrays as complex data. Now i have to update these classes, since there are additional informations, that have to be exchanged. When i use the tool now with the new wsdl-files, it does'nt create the classes for complex data (structur, IGCTMObjectFactory), but only one class for simple data. In addition i have to establish a new client, that sends an array of complex data and receives another array of complex data. I tried to build the classes manually combining the client that sends an array with the client, that receives an array, but I failed.

I'm trying to write my own SMTP server at the moment so that people can use it in their applications to send and receive emails.I am having a few problems at the moment with the TcpListener side of things though. Basically I do not want to start the TcpListener in the constructor of my class because people could be using this SMTP Server class just to send emails and might not care about receiving them. In fact the majority of people that use it will probably use it for that reason, to send and not to receive.
So I am now considering breaking this into 2 totally separate projects that have no dependencies on each other, but could easily be used in the same application if required. The reason I designed this with both 'features' in the same project in the first place was because that is how an SMTP server works - it can receive incoming SMTP requests and it can send SMTP server requests to other servers (and in some cases, receiving an SMTP request would cause it to send an SMTP command to another server)

I need to write an application for receiving data (ascii characters) from microcontroller through the serial port in three separate parts. I've created three RichTextBoxes, but I do not know which commands I need to type. In first textbox I need to receive one byte... next six bytes need to be placed in second text box, and finally last seven bytes need to be placed in third textbox.

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.

I am sending data into VB through a serial port on my computer, from a microcontroller. The data enters VB in an ASCII form, but I need it as a number. I can use the Asc command to convert numbers 0-127 however after this it dosent work. I believe this is becaus the ascii character map only goes through 127. So how can I convert the rest of the data (128-256) to a numbers?

I ran into this problem while trying to write a Pan/Tilt/Zoom controller program. I found some very complicated examples, but managed to put the pieces together into this simple test program.I first import System.IO.Portsthen I define a new serial port and give it the required parametersI open the com port when the form loadsI have two working buttons, one to pan left, one to stop panning. The hex commands are pre-configured.The one for Stop is A0 00 00 00 00 00 AF 0FThe one for Pan Left is A0 00 00 04 14 00 AF 1FI declare a byte array to contain the command bytes and put them into the correct position.
Code below:
