VS 2008 Serial Data To A Text Box?
Aug 21, 2010
I have a PIC program written in PicBASIC pro that sends out variables in word (ie 260, 458 etc). I would like to write a simple one form application that displays these variables in a box like this (just a mocked up image)In my search for VB code examples on how to use the serial port I came across one basic but functional example
Imports System.IO
Imports System.IO.Ports
Imports System.Net
Imports System.Data
[code]....
This is correct as there is only one variable that contains data at the moment (Temperatures(2) ), so the values are 0,0,261,0 for the first line. the increase in temperature was reflected in subsequent readings as it went up to 26.6C and then 26.8C.However I am now stumped... I don't know how I can adapt the code to brake the data up into the 4 variable and place them in to 4 different text boxes.

Is there a way to write in the code to dynamically update the COM port if the USB/Serial adapter is plugged into a different port?
2nd: How do I have visual basic output the LAT/LONG coords that I have have show up in a form box to a text file every time it updates from the serial GPS?

I am using Visual Basic express to create a serial interface to a multi-room audio controller. I have started by creating a form that can connect to the controller and I can receive data from the Controller and display Zone status, volume etc in corresponding texts box thaks to help from Stanav and Tassa in my previous thread.
My next problem is to do with receiving lots of data from the serial port and my application getting out of sync. This is mainly caused by turning the volum control as each time it is turned a little bit the controller sends out the new status of the Zone being effected
eg
****Turning Volume knob on Zone 1***
Status returned from Controller:
#Z01PWRON,SRC3,VOL05<CR>

I'm trying to pass a data packet from the serial data received event.The code can capture the data without any issues.I'm spinning my wheels on getting the data packet out of the thread for further processing.[code]

I have been using Dick Grier's example to attempt to attempt to read data coming from a project.I first have to read 16 bytes for an RFID tag. I have that working and am able to extract the unique ID code and display it (cut out for length).The project samples voltage on an ADC and transmits 120 samples ranging from 0 to 255.I am attempting to buffer in the 120 samples, convert the scaled voltages (195 Vp or so (115% of Vnom)), and calculate Vrms.When I attempt to calculate and display the information, nothing is displayed.[code]

I have written a program in vb to serial in data from my microcontroller and it is working good except for one thing. When I try to send the number 26 to vb it just reads a blank I dont know what is going on? The data that I am reading is being converted to int16, and I am using Encoding 28591 and have also tried Encoding 1252. I have also tried a new microcontroller with no success. I dont know if this is a VB problem or a microcontroller program problem.
Dim ReceiveBuffer As String
Dim portname1 As String = "Com5" ' Serial in through this port
Dim portspeed1 As Integer = 19200
Dim WithEvents COMPort As New System.IO.Ports.SerialPort

I have written a sketch for Arduino that sends serial data to my VB.Net app. Works great using the included USB port on the board. I need more distance, so I installed a MAX232. This is interesting. I get proper data in TeraTerm for both com ports (the Arduino USB comes up as a com port). I get proper data in my VB app from the Arduino USB (com) port. I get nothing from the MAX232 circuit on the other com port in my VB app. Why would both work in TeraTerm, but only the USB cable on the Arduino, not my MAX232 circuit in my application?

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 ?

I made my program and now I just need to add in the serial and trial part of the application. I know the application must connect to the host and go to a txtfile. How would i do the trial and serial. Also If the serial is already activated I want the application to reject that Serial and Count how many times they entered in a wrong serial.

Im working on a HSD 32 bit data bus to serial converter via a microcontroller. Now first I want to make a sort of data sniffer to read the data bus (32Bit) .All on the controller side is working and the stream of bytes are coming in via RS232 as 4 bytes in HEX like FD,A5,45,8B . I already converted the bytes in Dec and ASCII to determine what is passed true the bus and how fast and stuff.. Now that is all correct and working very well if the LSB (least significant bit) of the 32 data bus is Data line 0 and the MSB (most significant bit) is Data line 31 but if that is not the case I need to invert the 32Bits (like as I would invert the connector on the bus) . How do I best do this using the 4 bytes I send from the micro controller.
Example:
(MSB) 01001000 01100101 01101100 01110000 (LSB)
HEX= 48 65 6C 70
DEC= 72,101,108,112
ASCII= H E L P
I need to invert it with a button to:
(MSB) 00001110 00110110 10100110 00010010 (LSB)
HEX= 0E 36 A6 12
DEC= 14,54,166,18
ASCII= (SO) 6 : (DC2)

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?

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 using Visual Basic express to create a serial interface to a multi-room audio controller. I have started by creating a form that can connect to the controller and I can type commands into a text box and have set up a button that sends that text to the serial port. This text is displayed in a big text box as well as the feed back from the serial port (multirom audio controller).
Here is an example of what I send and receive to and from the controller;
I send *Z01STATUS (query's the Zone 1 status of the controller)I then receive the data from the controller #Z01PWRON,SRC4,VOL99 (This tells me Zone 1 is on, Source 4 is selected and the volume is at level 99 I can easily create buttons to turn the zones on and off and control the unit. My problem is I want to make things change on my form coresponding to the data received. ie I want to display the current volume of each zone and whether thetay are on or off etc. How do I get the individual bits of data from the data received. IE how do I get the VOL99 to show 99 in a text box?

I am using this routine to send one line of text to a serial port.The text file is made of many lines. This code works except for TextBox1 line.I like to print * signs for every line sent to indicate the system is working.[code]The routine waits and pumps out all of the * signs after the transmission is completed.
1- How can I place one * per line of transmission in TextBox1?
2- Is there an easy way to add 15milisec of delay at end of each line?

im reading a serial com port (Ardunio FTDI presented as a com anyway). It works fine for a few seconds then randomly I get random text, Ive tried a few different settings but there dosnt seam to be a specific trigger for the randomness.Ive read a few notes about a known buffer overflow issue and checked it in terminal where it's fine. This is my first return to VB in 10? years so im more then alittle rusty but this has me stumped,

how to change the vb.net code to recieve data from serial port. The packect size of data is 23 bytes so the data recevied event is fored after 23 byte. the data from other end is transfering at 10 ms. after recieving data i have to extract data, add it to database & display the extarcted packet in datagridview.the problem is that i m not even handle the data at 100ms properly. it shows 9,10,6,7 packets in 1 sec. and some time thread synchronization error. i am attaching 2 project the vb6 project is transmitting data at 10/100 ms & the vb.net2008 appliction is doing all the stuff.
