VS 2010 - Serial Port Communication Between Two Computers

Feb 22, 2012

I am using two computer to connect to each other via serial port, I have made a program in VB that allows me to read from the serial port then store whatever that character is to a variable. The only problem is I have to hit a button to read in from the serial port and pass the character to the variable. Is there any way to do this automatically?

VS 2010 Serial Port Communication?

Dec 31, 2010

I'm trying to read data coming from a serial port. I simply want to ignore all other data besides the string "button_pushed". The device actually writes "button_pushed" to clean up the display when viewing the serial connection from console or similar. I can change this easily but I'd like to keep it if possible.

My code is as follows:

[Code]...

I'll get an IOException from readLine(). I tried using readExisting() which prevented the error but results in the block being executed twice (probably caused by the "") so the log reads "No data match" and "Data match" for one button push.I have a few questions. First, why does ReadLine cause an exception? I tried to negate that with is_closing but it still occurs. Second, will I run into problems using readExisting as it reads the entire buffer?

Get Serial Port Communication Working Between Two PC's?

Dec 23, 2011

I am trying to get serial port communication working between two PC's.

My environment is: XP SP3, 9 pin serial ports on both ends, connected by a null modem cable, Visual Basic 2010 Express.

I have a sending routine and a receiving routine, both based on the on line documentation.

There are no Errors, Warnings or messages.

Problem: The receiving machine shows no sign of receiving a message sent by the sending PC. I have tried making the sending PC into the receiving PC - makes no difference.

My sending routine looks like this:

Sub SendSerialData(ByVal SendData As String)
'Send string to serial port
Using com1 As IO.Ports.SerialPort = My.Computer.Ports.OpenSerialPort("COM1", 9600, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One)

Serial Port Communication VS2008?

Nov 14, 2011

I am trying to interface an instrument that I send orders to.An order consists of 4 lines which I am to write to the serial port one at a time and receive an ACK before sending the next line.I have interfaced in the past using the MSCOMM, I'm new to the Serial Port class. But even then I've always received data, never sent anything.My question is when I'm looping through my 4 lines of my order, at what point do I receive ACK? Obviously, not in the same function, right? And how do I know I received an ACK and can go on to output the next line?

Serial Port - Initial Communication Not Respond To Any Commands

Jul 9, 2007

I have a VB2005 application that sends and recieves data with another application (3rd party, not vb 2005) via COM port. When I run the apps on different computers they work great, they send all data to eachother and everything is fine. When I run them both on the same computer with either virtual null modem ports or with 2 hardware ports connected together via null modem cable they stop communicating.

Using MSComm32.ocx Control For The Purpose Of Serial Port Communication?

Jun 16, 2010

In my application I am using MSComm32.ocx control for the purpose of serial port communication.
when i am using it I am getting a following error while writing data to the port.

"AxMSComm1.Output {"Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A018A (CTL_E_GETNOTSUPPORTED)"} Object "

I am writing the output to the port like below. AxMSComm1.Output ="Hello"

I mention the properties of the ocx control in the form load like below. AxMSComm1.CommPort = 1

AxMSComm1.Settings ="9600,N,8,1"
AxMSComm1.InputLen = 0
AxMSComm1.PortOpen =True

I searched for this error in the net.But I am not found any information for this issue.

can anybody explain why I am getting that error and how to resolve it???

Communications :: Serial Port Communication Via Null Modem Cable?

Sep 4, 2009

I have a VB.net app running on one computer, displaying text into 2 texboxes or labels.I need to see the two values in two sperate textboxes or labels from the two labels on another computer via a null modem serial adapter.

1st computer.

Code:

serialport1.writeline(label1.txt)

straight forward right?

2nd computer to read the data

Code:
Private Sub SerialPort1_DataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles SerialPort1.DataReceived
dim s as new string = serialport1.readline()
label1.text = s

This is what I was thinking;

Code:
serialport.writeline(label1.text & label2.text

This would send the two values over the serial port. How would I seperate the two values and display them in two different texboxes?cannot use them together)Am I on the right path at all? Or using the serialport.writeline method won't work at all....

Using A Serial Port In A DLL With .NET 2010?

Jun 3, 2012

I am trying to buld a DLL in VB.NET 2010 that will be use to control a vending machine.Whin a call into the DLL to a function to open and setup the comport the first time its opens it just fine, but if a call into the DLL again it does not know that the port is open even if it is still open. I can check with another program and is shows the port is open and if I try to call into the DLL again to open the port I get an error that the port is already open. Any idea how to set this up so it will work.

I need to open and config the com port in one call that leaves it open and then in other call use the com port to talk the equipment in the machine without closing the com port untill it is required to close it.

VS 2010 Reading Data From Com / Serial Port?

Apr 3, 2012

Private Sub receive_data(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles SerialPort1.DataReceived
Dim aBuffer(255) As Byte
Do While SerialPort1.BytesToRead > 0

[code]....

Basically, what I am trying to do is everytime I receive data from the serial port, I turn that data into an array (aBuffer) and I then call another sub using that info.The problem I'm having is that everytime I receive data, the array only fills up to the first 8 bytes! This isn't a problem when I receive smaller packets of 6 bytes but anything else gets chopped off.

What is really frustrating is that it seems quite fickle. I've read somewhere that this happens because the computer is handling the bytes received faster than they are being put in the buffer?? Not really sure but if I put a couple of breakpoints during debug, sometimes the array fills up correctly... Note the maximum size of any one incoming message would be 255 bytes.

VS 2010 Reading Hex Data From Serial Port

Apr 23, 2010

This is an amateur radio project. I have a TNC (modem) that receives a digital stream (AX.25) from my radio. The TNC decodes the AX.25 frames and translates them to KISS frames (the protocol used between the TNC and the PC, see documentation here: [URL] It sends the data as HEX values.

What I'm looking for on the serial stream is the beginning of a data frame marked by 0xC0 0x00 and ending with 0xC0. Should be easy. Using serialport.readbyte() I should get binary data that I can convert to hex and look for the beginning of a data frame and then convert the subsequent data to ascii, as it will be text from a chat session.

Just to try it out and see the raw data coming from the port, I use teraterm or realterm and capture the data and it's a mix of junk (control frames and what not) and valid text. When I display the same data in a text box in VB I get data that look like this:

VS 2010 Serial Port CTS, CD, And DSR Holding Always On/true?

Aug 31, 2011

I have a serial port hub with 4 ports. 2 of them work perfectly and the other 2 don't.I've found out that the 2 that don't work always have CTS, CD, and DSR on/true.The 2 ports "don't work" because they aren't able to receive a response.How can I turn off CTS, CD, and DSR holding? It seems that they are ReadOnly properties.I don't know if this will help, but I've recorded a log (recorded pin values every 1 second interval) for one port that worked and another that didn't.The one that didn't work:

RTS,CTS,DTR,DSR,CD,RI,TX Total,RX Total,TX CPS,RX CPS,Break,Overrun,Parity,Framing
0,1,0,1,1,0,9,0,4,0,0,0,0,0
0,1,0,1,1,0,9,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

[code]....

As you can see, the one that doesn't work has a value of 1 in CTS, DSR, and CD at all times. Also, the one that does work was able to receive the data, which is shown by the 14.
