What i need to write is i get different signal from PIC16F877A and through serial port, i need to display diffrent text from different signal, Such as: Signal from portB.1 display 1, signal from portb.2 display 2. Between the microcontroller and serial port im using MAX232.

View 6 RepliesThe vb.net code is functioning correctly as it talks to a device through COM1 serial port.What I was hoping was the equivalent c# code is not creating the same string and as a result, the serial 'packet' is not correct. Check this illustration of my problem [URL]...
My goal is to eliminate the addition of the extra characters '/0' and '/b' that what I hoped was the c# equivalent to the correctly functioning vb.net code. It just occurred to me I should change the code to employ Stringbuilder. The 'packetbuilder' method/function builds a string and keeps concatenating things to itself.

I have developed a microprocessor based devise. It can communicate with laptop through RS232 as a VB application. Now most of laptops have USB port only. So I want to use USB replacing RS232 port on laptop side but not change anything on the device side. Can I do this using a USB-RS232 converter? How to change the VB software?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to make my own hyper terminal. I have used the serial port component and after setting all the configuration for the com port I press the button Enable ComPORT. The problem is that, when I press the enable com port button the program goes unstable untill the reception starts from the COM port. After the reception is start the program starts working fine.

m really not sure in here because this code is for vb .net 2003.. are they the same?
I have microcontroller interfaced with serial port of my computer. In my microcontroller I have 2000 sample data and my primary target is to read those data. Now I can read those data in hyper terminal, but when it comes to my application it doesnt show anything.
Private Sub sp1_DataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles sp1.DataReceived
sp1.Open()
MsgBox(sp1.ReadExisting())
End Sub
this simple code block should show me the data.But it doesnt.data format coming Microcontroller is in this following formate :
nitialization successful !,1023
Starting sampling process... 1023,1023 1023,1023
0,2 1023,1023 1023,1023 1023,1023 212,686 1023,1023 1023,1023

now, I dont understand why it doesn't read anything :NB: SP1 has a baudrate of 19200,Databits 8 and no parity,COM1 port. I aisnt sure whether I will be needing a buffer or not

All these days i used to program in Vb6.0. Now since from last 15 days I have been using Vb2008. In Vb6.0 I used MSCOMM for serial communications. Here in Vb2008 I found Serial port control equivalent to it. I somehow managed to learn how to send data using serial port control and set parameters like baudrate , stopbits , etc. But I' not getting how to get the received data. In VB 6.0 we used to use comEvReceive in OnComm event and used MSCOM1.Input to get the received data. But I'm not getting how to do the same in vb2008.

View 2 Repliesthe program works fine but there is the possibility of a problem because this error message did pop up.I'm gathering my data bytes in an array --
dim rcvdata(19) as byte
serialport.read (rcvdata,0,20)
serialport.close
(Then decipher the array).But Should I go further with this? Could the error be related to my serialport.read?What if there were NOT 20 bytes read into the array?I think this may be it? I should poll the array for 20 bytes before proceeding?Yes? -- (It's a given and that's standard procedure).No? -- Don't worry, they're going to be there (the read will try again if it has to?) It won't proceed without the 20 bytes?

seems to be quite easy but i'm stuck I'm reading a hex string from serial port (f.e. 20FD05C4), but can't read it proper in VS:/ . I've been trying with serialPort.ReadExisting(), serialPort.Read, etc
Is there any way to just read that String or convert it easyly bin/hex ?

For some packets I sent, "Error Data Received" came up. I checked BytesReceived, it was 0. My question is: since SerialPort_DataReceived processes data received, data was supposed to be received. Why the number of bytes I read was zero? BTW, when is this event accessed? it is accessed when any number of bytes received or the whole packet received?

View 1 RepliesI'm writing some VB2008 code to control four 7-seg LEDs I bought from Velleman. They came with some example code in VB 5.0, and with instructions telling me to input 5 bytes at a time in the format Chr$() & Chr$() & etc. for the rest of the 5 bytes. When I try to do this using VB2008, it rejects the $ sign, so I've tried it using the Chr() format, which VB2008 allows. However, it doesn't work. Is Chr() the new version of Chr$() or are they different entities? In sending data to the LEDs, I'm using LiveComPort.WriteLine() as my command. (My serial port is called LiveComPort) I also tried it with LiveComPort.Write() asthe command. I know that my serial port and the LEDs are working, because they respond to the demo program provided by Velleman.

View 3 RepliesI currently have software that sends out plain text(i.e. 'X') to comm 1 port and was wondering if there was any way to capture that plain text and also respond to that port on the same compute as the port without having anything plugged into the machine (i.e. 9 pin serial cable). I am trying to avoid buy any more hardware as this is an objective to acutally cut down on hardware.
