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 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 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.

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 am working on my project "PREPAID RESTAURANT CARD USING RFID TECHNOLOGY" in which i sent 12 digit number (rfid tag id) to serial port through my hardware and receive at my vb.net 2008 page.but i don't know how to receive data in vb page in the textbox using which cammand.

I am having problem receiving data from serial port. Btw, I am new to Visual studio 2010 too.
I do a test program on my PIC so that when button1 press, it will send character "Y" to visual studio; when button2 press, it will send character "N" to visual studio. I know for VS 2010, sending data out is by the command

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 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?

View 9 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.

I have written a windows service that uses sockets to send receive data, it works fine when the server has been running and all other services have started, but after a reboot it does not work. Now I know its probably dependant on another service and I know how to add dependencies, but how do I work out which services its dependent on?

View 4 RepliesI have created a Client that can send and receive data via TCP sockets. The objects stored on the serverside are the *exact* same object used for the client. They use the same send and receive protocols.
Now, when i send a string from the server to the client , it does precisely what it should do. However when I send a string to the server.... I do receive the string as an equal length of NULL characters. I run the server and client locally.
Basicly what can influence the behaviour between two completely identical objects performing the exact same task? I wonder if there is some socketflag issue if the TCPlistener.accept function returns a completely different setup then the one I R used to.
(if it is of any interest, the send protocol is asynchronious)

MSComm1.Output = "C"
Send command ID

I need to convert the code using VB2010, but Chr$ is not available, and anything I tried will not send the actual ascii code character......
How do you add the "0" to the Hex value? What I get: 881 Should Be: 8801

i 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.
