I want to control the D0-D7 pins of the parallel port(LPT) with VB2010. I do not need to transfer or receive data via this port, all I want is to set high or low (5V or 0V).Is it even possible?

I am trying to send and receive data through a USB port on my computer to an external microcontroller.
I built most of the code using the "serial class" but then i read that this would not work with a USB port.
How would I go about communicating with this USB port on my computer?
I use ReceiveSerialData() function to get a string (20 byte of 8 bit data) from serial portBut I faild and got the error "operation has timeout". I am new in VB 2010

I have blocks of data that arrives from a remote terminal via RS232/COM1 port.
Each block has carriage return at end of the data.
I like to receive the data direcly into EXCEL so it will feel like the remote computer is typing into my EXCEL.
Do I need an interface program outside EXCEL or a MACRO can do the same and how do I do it?
Is there anyway to have the serial data go to keyboard buffer that EXCEL operates from it?

I have created a program to send and receive data from a serial port, some of the data needs to be stored in certain strings for a export to excel. However the data takes while to to send be sent back. So in order to get the right information in the right strings I have to put pauses in my code. I have added a timer to my form:
On my timer's tick event I have the following code:
Public Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
iTick = iTick + 1
End Sub
I am writing a VB based program which will receive data from a Micrcontroller (programmed in C) via UART. The data that is transmitted from the Microntroller can be displayed on Hyperterminal when I set it up with the correct settings (Baud, Parity etc), so I know that Microcontroller end is working fine. The VB-based program however (written in Visual Studio 2010 Express), does not however receive any data and I always get the TimeOut exception (despite the fact that Microcontroller is sending data via UART, I have an onboard LED to indicate this). Here is the VB code, it is an adapted version from the MSDN library:

I am working on a project to receive and send data to a micro controller using a Visual Basic application. I am using Visual Studio 2008. I have done coding to send data on button click event.
But I am stuck at how to receive incoming data to serial port continually from MCU and store it to an integer or string type data in VB.
I would like to detect the Address and Port number of the Parallel Port in computer.

View 9 RepliesI have a USB modem that can detect caller ID and can detect dialled digits when special AT commands activated, How to send and receive data. The sent data will be the AT command such as AT+VCID-1 to activate the caller ID, the received data will be caller ID information and the digits dialed. I'm new to prgramming and using Visual Basic 2008 Express.
View 8 RepliesI am wondering is there any code to get the text reply from the modem? I am using the itegno W3800 modem. I have used the below method so far but apparently VB.NET windows form doesnt see the incoming data. The message box comes out empty. But when i try the same method with the TMAS Siemens GSM modem, VB.NET can see the incoming data and display out the data string.
here is the code that i have written:
serialPort.Write("AT" & vbCrLf) 'set command message format to text mode(1)
receiveddata = serialPort.ReadExisting()
it works for the TMAS gsm modem.
The baud rate for the TMAS GSM modem is 9600 and the baud rate for the itegno modem is 115200.
For the itegno modem, the data is sort of like stuck at the serial port as after every time i pressed on the button for example "AT"
this "AT" command gets "stuck" at the serialport and run only when i have connected through the serial port in hyper terminal.
I am thinking is it the baud rate for 115200 is too fast for VB to handle? And also is there any way to solve this problem?
i have to revert back to the itegno modem for use for my project at the end of the day.
How do you add the "0" to the Hex value? What I get: 881 Should Be: 8801
Dim ByteCounter As Integer = 0
Dim DataPacketLenght As Byte
Dim Databyte(DataPacketLenght - &H1) As Byte

I'm doing this using the "Inpout32.dll" library to make the communication between VB.NET and the port..
