Get Custom Data From USB HID Device?
Aug 4, 2010
I've created a custom USB device using a PIC18F4550 and I'm having trouble with reading information from the device. The device sends reports without a request from the application as 64 bytes. I'm relatively new to VB and this is my first foray into USB as well... It's not going good. I've set the Vendor ID to Hex 1234 and the Hardware ID to Hex 0001. I've used different libraries and the timer to check for incoming reports, but I can't seem to figure it out. I've waded through pages of USB Complete and all kinds of code for mice and barcode scanners, but nothing so far that will do anything for my device.. how I can register the device and get the raw report from the device and display it in a text box

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?

What is the best way to go about retrieving data from a proprietary hardware device that interfaces via HID USB? The particular device I need the data from is a blood-pressure/heartbeat measurement & monitoring device.The hardware came with software that downloads the data from the device and places that data into a (passworded/encrypted) MS Access database that I cannot connect to using programmatic methods, at least not without having the (admin's) password. The software provided produces reports, but the formatting renders them virtually useless (well, completely useless) for the needs of our company.
The device manufacturer provides to it's customers no API or any other technical information for accessing the data produced by their product; so, this pretty much leaves me stuck trying to figure out how to obtain the data via custom application in order to reclaim the initial justification for the expense associated with the hardware, which by the way has already been purchased.I don't need code snippits specifically, though examples would be nice; what I really need is to know is how to best approach this project, from a general design and programming stand-point.

I am trying to read data from an external device using MSComm control but the problem is I am getting wrong data. I am recieving 1 byte data but the first three bits are wrong so anything greater than 31 sent from the external devices is recieved wrongly. eg. if I am sending 63(111111) from the device then the input from MSComm control gives me 159(10011111).Due to this reason I tried SerialPort from .Net framework and was surprised to see that it is working properly.

I have 20-30 devices that I am connecting to and gathering data from. I want to display six or seven lines of data for each device on the same screen, then allow the user to click the object containing the device and show more detail on a separate form. There aren't any other programmers where I work and am looking for advice on how most efficiently to implement this. I have tried TableLayoutPanels, Datagrids, Textboxes, ListBoxes and I am probably not implementing them right, but they don't seem to be getting me where I want to go. I am also trying to stay away from hardcoding objects onto the screen.

I have USB device that is detected as human interface device (HID). The device has one button on it. I want to have more of same devices attached to one PC. I would like to simulate a click on that device (it is not a mouse!). It should be simple using Windows API, but I just can't seem to find an example or at least function that does that (I successfully found code that takes position of a MOUSE, and sends click to a MOUSE, but I need that for my HID). What i really need is an example how to simulate click on HID (something like joystick).Second question is a bit more complicated and I can't find a solution. The HID when button is clicked returns data (5-6 bytes). But data returned is immediately printed to the screen (like i typed it on keyboard) and it is followed by CR, however no data is left on clipboard. I don't know how to get that data to my program. Detecting keystrokes using Windows API (something like keylogger), or to make a control (richtextbox) and retrieve data from that control? Thou important notice is that my program is complicated, involves multithreading (cross-thread operations are a mess) and is TIME CRITICAL (as much as it can be on Windows - you get what I mean), so cross-thread access of control will slow me down a lot or even just won't work. Something like this:[code]Even if this problem is solved it still makes it buggy because user should be able to use GUI all the time.

I am writing a small app that is retrieving data from a device connected to a virtual com-port. I connect without problems to the device using the settings 9600-8-N-1.
I need to send the command <esc>MS , the device then sends back the data to a computer. I have tried this using Hyperterminal with success. I also did this with Excel and VBA. I used the MSComm32 Active X control:
MSComm1.Output = Chr$(27) + "M" + "S" + Chr$(13)
Msgbox(MSComm1.Input)
This made the data from the device pop up in a messagebox. I am writing a winforms app in vb.net, using VS2005. I have a form, on which I have a Placed a SerialPort control, named sp. My sample code is as follows:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal
sender As System.Object,
ByVal e
[CODE]...
This returns the error message "Error: expecting a command". I have done som tests in HyperTerminal, and have concluded with:
-If I dont send <esc>, I get error "Expecting a command"
-If I send wrong command (ie MD instead of MS) i get error "Bad command"
Based on this, I suspect that I don't pass the escape character correctly to my device. So I wonder how to do this?

I'm currently working on my VB.NET certification and I'm using Murach's Visual Basic 2008 for my class textbook. Chapter 16 of the text covers writing my own ADO.NET data access codes. The code I have included here is for two classes of the project:
frmAddModifyCustomerDB.vb is prewritten by murach for this assignment and CustomerDB.vb is included written in the book as my assignment to build but not prewritten for me in the solution. According to the assignment, frmAddModifyCustomerDB.vb should not be modified unless instructed by the book. The procedure in question is Private Sub btnAccept_Click on the line that reads: "If Not CustomerDB.UpdateCustomer(customer, newCustomer) Then".After copying the CustomerDB.vb class directly from the book the assignment stated that the database should update properly when using the UpdateCustomer function that is fired when the Accept button is clicked. Every time I tried to modify a customer when doing this I kept getting the Database Error message box and the changes would be canceled.
After playing with the code I changed the "If Not CustomerDB.UpdateCustomer(customer, newCustomer) Then" to check against the boolean return from CustomerDB.vb by inserting "= False". When the modified code reads "If Not CustomerDB.UpdateCustomer(customer,
newCustomer) = False Then" the application updates properly and does not fire any exceptions. I'm confused by this because the book specified that I should not need to modify the code for the Add/Modify form in order for this to work.
Public Class frmAddModifyCustomer
Public addCustomer As Boolean
Public customer As Customer

I have an application that collects data from the user and reads data from the serial port. After the user has entered the data and the data from the serial port received, I would like to be able save those data into a file, preferably in some database format (e.g. Access mdb file) Can anyone help me with this, I am very confused with vb.net. I have created an Access database and connected it to my "solution", I also have created a datagridview on the form that connects to a table in the database. Now I basically want add two buttons (or menu items) on the form, one that does a "Save As" and allows all of that data to be saved into a separate mdb file, and one "New" button that opens a blank copy of the mdb file for more data to be entered.

I'm building a vb.net application that composes messages for later message queueing in accordance with a predefined schema that an observer of the message queue requires.I've made the XSD file for the schema already, but I was wondering if there was any way to import the schema as or convert it to a custom object type in my .net application, where the elements of the schema would represent data fields or sub-objects to be filled programmatically.
Is there any way to do this?Am I getting my terminology correct here, or would there be a better way to accomplish what I'm attempting to do?I'd like to be able to create a schema and use it as a definition for some kind of data transfer object in my applications, without having to make the object as a separate VB class file.

Does anybody know how to persist (save and recall) a structure array when using a custom control? I don't want this data to show up in the properties window but it needs to be available "behind the scenes".
Right now, I'm writing the information to a file but this causes portability problems and may trigger the UAC.
[code]...
How can I persist this without writing to a file? Should I save it to the registry?
