I have a need to construct a command Byte to send to another device using bit wise operations.There seem to be plenty of article on how to do this for indiviual bits using an OR'd constant but how do I do this for values that span multiple bits? eg "Bits 4-1" set the repeat count".so how to I inject a repeat count value of say 7 into my command byte?
View 1 RepliesI want to send a simple command, such as "v20" followed by a carriage control character, to a heating/cooling block connected to a desktop computer running Windows XP. I am able to get the commands to work within a terminal emulator. I want to compile a simple program that will be executed by software used to control a liquid handling robot.I've looked at the how to send strings to serial ports in visual basic page and modified that code ever so slightly to send the data that I want. However, it does not work and my heating/cooling block is not changing temperatures.
Here's what I have written:
Sub SendSerialData(ByVal data As String)
data = "n65"
' Send strings to a serial port.

View 9 RepliesWorking with System.Cryptography, I'm noticing that data arrays up to a certain size will either conform to the size of the Initialization Vector (IV) or the size of the Key provided. So with a 48-byte Key and a 32-byte IV, up to around 42 bytes of data will encrypt to 32 bytes and 44+ will encrypt to 48 bytes of data. I've tested this with a variety of data arrays, and it seems to always come out the same... but I have a concern that higher byte values in the original array may result in longer encrypted arrays.
how or whether I can construct byte arrays that will be guaranteed to come out of Encryption at a pre-determined size?
I just converted the following code from c# to vb.net. It is functional and works correctly with my company's firmware/devices. My next challenge. Previous serialport code used much more readable structs which where then converted (after building a packet) into byte() automatically as part of the serialport encoding. (this is my understanding)How could I
1. morph byte arrays 'ToSocket' and 'ToMTP' below into structs and
2. convert into byte array for Socket.BeginSend(byte(),.....) to stream out to remote devices?

In VB6, I use CHR$(&H00) to create a Null Character. In VB.Net VS2008 CHR(&H00) creats a Null. I'm trying to send a Hex(00) to a serial device, but the VB.Net function only sends a null, not a null character. How can I accomplish this with VB.Net?

How can I create a simple application to send timed controls to an external device?
What I need is to create a very simple application that sends control signals or voltages out to an external device connected via serial perhaps. The external device will in turn trigger some electromechanical devices. There needs to be 24 independent controls each with a simple command equivalent to on or off. What is important is being able to control the timings of the on and off on each control.[code]....

peoples The User of my application will enter Hexa values in text boxes (00h to FFh). I need to send these values through the serial port, but so that EACH text box with values 00h to FFh ONLY generate ONE transmitted byte, exactly the value placed in the text box.
Just found examples of this application in VB6, using the following command:
MSComm1.Output = (Chr(Val(txtText1.Text)))
In VB2008, you use the component "SerialPort", and one of the methods for transmitting data to the output buffer is "Write". So I did it this way:Dim As Integer ValHex

I am passing hex values to a subroutine and creating a datagram based on those values. Unfortunately, some of the values sent to the routine may need to be replaced after calculating the checksum and the checksum, itself, may need substitution. I have all that figured out, but the problem I'm having is that I can't send the data in the format I have it
