Use A Textbox To Send Binary Data To Serial Port
Sep 1, 2009I am currently sending data via a serial port to an AVR microcontroller. I've tried searching the forums here first but haven't found any posts that specifically deal with what I'm trying to do. Here's some additional information that might help before proceeding:
Sendbox = textbox
ReceiveBox = listbox
ReceiveChk = checkbox
I currently have it setup so I enter hex data in Sendbox, click the button, it sends the data to the AVR micro via the serial port, which gets repeated back through the serial port and receives the hex data in the ReceiveBox. I want to be able to setup something similar so I am able to input data into a textbox as binary and have it sent to the AVR that way.
I realize it will send the same data whether I enter it in hex or binary form. I just want the option of being able to send it in either form.
Below is my code.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SendButton.Click
SerialPort1.Open()

Send A Control String From .NET To A Serial Port?
Aug 5, 2010I am trying to send a control string from VB.NET to a serial port. I am using a pololu trex jr. on the receiving end of the serial port. I have attached a copy of my current code which compiles without errors, but fails to send data. I can tell that it is not sending data because I have a light on the control board connected to the port and it normally blinks when data is received. The program that came with the board drives it perfectly but does not serve the purpose I need it to. I am open to any suggestions as I eventually plan to write a class to contain the control routines.

Mar 11, 2010i knew Serial ports are a type of computer interface that complies with the RS-232 standard. They are 9-pin connectors that relay information, incoming or outgoing, one byte at a time. Each byte is broken up into a series of eight bits, hence the term serial port.And I want to write a program chatting through Serial Port.
View 3 RepliesSend String Through Serial Port To Arudino?
Apr 18, 2012im very new to visual basic. as in i just started 2 days ago. Currently i have a little program written up that has a couple of radio buttons and then a submit button. when you select a radio button and click the submit button, a little message box with pop up and say "you selected such and such"
Well now im trying to make something that will send a string to arduino through the usb cable. Basically it will use the same set up as stated above but instead of a pop up message it will just send the string through the port. for example Radiobutton1 - when selected and submit button pressed will send "1" (no quotes) through the serial port Radiobutton2 - when select and submitted will send "1" and then maybe "3"
and so on and so. Some radio buttons will only send 1 string through them and some may send multiple. Now, i dont need help with arduino, i have that already set up to wait for the strings to come through the com port. just need to figure out how to do it in VB.

Using .net 2010 PointOfService.POSPrinter Class For Simple Job On POS Printer?
Jan 6, 2012I need to print a simple receipt to my EPSON-TM-T88V thermal POS printer with VB.NET 2010 on XP (eventually to run on Windows embedded POSReady) via USB.All I need to print is some text and a logo. I have my logo stored on the printer. So, I need to use Epson's ESC/POS commands. So, does it make sense to use Microsoft.PointOfService? Seems like a lot to go through to send some escape sequences to a printer!Apparently, the PointOfService system has not been updated to work seemlessly with VB.net 2010 (details below) That is why I wonder if I am taking the wrong path.IF this is the right path...here is what I did and where I am stuck.
For people trying to us the PointOfService classes in VB 2010:First you need to download and install the POS.net (Microsoft.PointOfService) - free download MS. Then you need to add references in your vb.net project. When you try to run it, you will probably get an error something like this:
{"This method explicitly uses CAS policy, which has been obsoleted by the .NET Framework. In order to enable CAS policy for compatibility reasons, please use the NetFx40_LegacySecurityPolicy configuration switch.

Privileges - .net 1.1 TCPIP Printer Port Creation With CreateProcessWithLogon API?
May 22, 2009A few months back I wrote a VB.net console application to migrate a group of about 100+ printers and the 1800+ users that use them from some old HP print appliances to a mixed Print Server and Direct to IP Printing solutions. The application uses a database to compare installed printers and remove old/invalid shares and remap to the new Win2K3 based print server OR create a TCPIP printer port and install the driver for direct to IP printing.
It worked really well, but users needed power user rights to create the TCPIP printer port. For the main campus this wasn't an issue, but the smaller remote sites need a solution that allows the app to be run by users without power user rights.
My solution was to take the "CreatePrinterIPPort" function and put it into it's own wrapper app and then call it as needed from the main app using a hard coded local admin account for the purpose, but I'm running into issues when spawning the createport app. If I run the app standalone it creates the port with no issue, but when I run it in my test app to spawn the createport using the CreateProcessWithLogon API the port creation fails with an "access denied" error. I'm limited to using .net 1.1 as 2.0 isn't in our environment throughly and I was told it wouldn't be pushed just for this app.

View 1 RepliesSend A Character To A Network Printer?
Oct 14, 2010I need to create an exe in VS2010 with VB that does the same thing as a simple command line. The reason is related to debugging. I can type ECHO ~ > \WIN7MMF25$ in a command window on a W2K8R2E server and it will send the ~ character to the shared "printer" on the Win7 PC. Actually, the device is a cash drawer connected to LPT1 that pops open when it sees a ~ character.
Anyway, I created a CMD file with that command, saved it, fired it, and the cash drawer on the Win7 PC opens. However, when I try to call that command file from our ERP application, it doesn't work (it does work if the remote PC is XP, though - just not if it is Win7 or Vista).
Anyway, I was hoping if I created a simple EXE and called THAT from the ERP software, perhaps whatever issue is bugging us will not bug us anymore.
Send Control Codes To USB Printer
Oct 4, 2010I'm not sure if this is the best forum for this question but it seemed like the most applicable. I am using VBA to create a barcode label application that sends a series of ZPL (Zebra programming language) commands to a USB printer.I need this program to be stand alone in the sense that the Excel 2007 workbook that I am embedding the macro in and the printer driver are the only software that will be required to sucessfully run this program on various computers that have Excel 2007 installed. Additionally I need this program to work directly with the USB port and not a serial/ usb converter. Can someone help me, or direct me to help, to perform this kind of operation? I used to be able to read and write to serial/ parallel ports and haven't worked with USB from a programming perspective.

I am able to send a PostScript file to a printer right now, but it only sends the file to the printer that was last selected. I am using Ghostview to view the PS file and to print it. This is why the file prints to the last printer selected.
