VS 2008 IO.Serialport Does Not Receive Any Data
Apr 6, 2009I want to use IO.ports.serialport to receive ASCII data from an instrument (A Luxmeter for those interested). So far, i've been unable to read any single byte from the instrument using the IO.ports.serialport.A terminal window shows the datastream just fine, and I've used MScommlib to read the data without problems. I just had other problems with the latter, so I thought I'd give this IO.ports.serialport a try.The code runs fine, no errors. It just doesn't receive anything.Bytestoread stays 0 forever.I distilled the code to it's bare essence. What am I missing? Is it something obvious, or did I completely misunderstand the whole concept? (Which is not unlikely..)I did check the obvious, of course: settings, baudrate, cable is connected, instrument is sending, etc.[code]

SerialPort.DataReceived Not Returning Data?
Dec 29, 2010Every 5 to 10 seconds I receive 5-12 bytes of data (confirmed w/Hyperterminal). I can open the com port(btn1), read bytes(btn3) until bytes to read = 0, but then i'm stuck; the data received event doesn't seem to respond. If I close the serial port(btn2), re-open i can read more data until bytes to read = 0 then stuck again. I tried several suggestions for threads and delegate and invoke but none worked. (WIndows XP, VB 2008)

Communications :: Serialport Data Received Addhandler
Apr 24, 2010I am writing a small application to see what data I am sending and receiving to my COM port (for a small hardware project based on url..).The problem I want to activate a "Serialread" or "SerialWrite" procedure as soon as data is waiting in the receive or send buffer.I have some basic skills so before I start digging in I would like to get some advice. Can I use a addhandler (I have read something about this on the internet but have to clue how to use it) or something else? Is there a way to check if data is in the buffer ready to be read or write??

View 2 Replies.net - SerialPort Reads Are Returning Fragmented Sets Of Data?
Oct 17, 2011I have a USB device which creates a Virtual Serial Port on Windows. I am using VB.Net to write and read from the port. My device responds with specific sized set of bytes, but I am finding that SerialPort.Read(byte-array,offset,number-bytes) does not return the full number-bytes but it also does not timeout or generate an exception. Repeated calls return additional fragments (up to 3 calls required). Python code using pySerial does not have the same problem.So, what am I doing wrong here? Am I expecting too much?
Some scenarios are:I write a command to the port and expect to get 4 bytes in response. I get 1 byte first and then 3 bytes on the subsequent call.I write a command and expect 21120 bytes in response. I get 1, 12671 and then 8448 bytes in 3 calls to read from the port.
Here are some excerpts from my code:
Private Sub SetupVirtualSerialPort()
Dim portName As String = "COM" + (m_DeviceContext * -1).ToString
Const baud As Int32 = 9600 '7680000
Const parity As Parity = parity.None

View 3 Replies'System.StackOverflowException' When Writing Data To SerialPort At Higher Baudrates?
Nov 24, 2010I am writing a serial application using VB .net Framework V4 , where I use a background worker to Read a file and send it to a serial port using SerialPort1.writeLine method. The BackgroundWorker1.ProgressChanged Event handler sub Updates the Line Number to a TextLabel and adds each line sent to a RichTextBox using RichTextBox1.AppendText() method on main form (Form1).
The problem arises at 115200 Bauds (and higher),may be because now the text is updated real fast on the form an unhandled Exception in BackgroundWorker1.ProgressChanged Event handler sub occurs. Otherwise at lower baudrates ex: 9600,19200 etc. Application Runs Perfectly Fine.

View 4 RepliesSerialPort Escape String - Retrieving Data From A Device Connected To A Virtual Com-port
Aug 13, 2010I 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?

Split The Data And Receive Back From The Box?
Nov 5, 2010I am writing an automation program for an associated research HYPOT tester and one of my current problems is trying to split the data i recieve back from the box.Currently i have two commands i use TD? and SALL? both do the same thing but return different data. TD? when sent to the box will return the test results and of course there is no auto return when test is complete so i have to either set some kinda of timer to get the data after the test is complete or just keep pinging the box tell the test returns with either a pass or fail.my problem is when i ping the box with TD? it returns
"M11,ACW,test results{pass|fail},1.50,10.00,10ms"
What I am trying to do is use a split command to split that line into strings based off "," as my dilimeter. Currently i am useing this set up
dim resultstring as string = main.serialport1.readexisting
dimresultarray as string = split(resultstring, ",",6)
txtTestResult.Text = resultarray(2)
for the most part is does return the test results but other times it will either error out saying that resultarray(2) is out side the index or it will display one of the other strings (acw or 1.50).Is there a more accurate way to do this.I am also printing the full string pulled from the buffer into a text doc as a data log.
