Toggle A LED With Timed Intervals?
May 4, 2010
I have a piece of hardware that is controlled via USB.There are 8 LEDs on the output byte. One LED per bit.I like to toggle the outputs based on selection of checkboxes and given frequency entered in TextBox.I inserted 8 checkboxes to allow me to select the desired LEDs to be on.I select the checkboxes to select the required LEDs.The checkbox gives me the byte value. XORing the byte value with 255I can see them toggling very fast. I have a while loop to blink forever until I click on stop button.The stop makes the seq=false and this should stop the blinking but it keeps going.How can I insert desired delay of flashing frequency in my output routine?How can I stop on demand to change pattern without exiting the program.

I'm trying to make a form that will read my wordlist. txt (one word or phrase per line) then using a timer, insert one word randomly selected from the list, and display it in textbox1 where it will remain until another timer changes the word. The word in the textbox will display for a random time 1min to 7 min, then the textbox displays another word randomly selected from the word list.

I am using an httpWebRequest in my windows app to download files from a webserver (sURL), to a local folder (fileDestination) as such:
Public Function DownloadFile(ByVal sURL As String, _
ByVal fileDestination As String, _
ByVal WebRequestType As String) As Boolean
Dim URLReq As HttpWebRequest
Dim URLRes As HttpWebResponse
[Code] .....
This works fine for the first few files. But then it starts giving the error:
"operation has timed out"
on the URLReq.GetResponse line.

I run a program with 20 threads getting data from web.
After about 10 minutes I keep getting operation timed out exception.
If I restart the program it works again for 10 minutes.
Looks like there is a memory leak or something.
Some says that webclient uses webrequest object somewhere. I do not see it in watch though.

look at the comments at the beginning of each class. Note, the period is rather small (100ms), and the process being triggered could occasionally take more than 100ms (in which case, the next thread trigger should be delayed ... two threads shoud never overlap). Also, the class will never be instantiated more than once.

I decided to whip up a simple stopwatch-esque timer for some needs of mine. Well after writing a very basic code for the timer to show seconds and milliseconds I see that the intervals are wrong[code]...

I'm using the chart control that's built in to Visual Basic 2010.NET Service Pack 4.
I am creating a basic date time graph with time on the axis and, at the minute, random points between -20 and positive 20 on the y axis. At the minute I can set everything up perfectly. The only problem is that the label on the x axis is not a time, it's a number. To be precise, it's the XLabelInterval value. This value is a double, so the label on the x axis is also a double not a time. But that's only interval I am setting. I think, by default, because I am not setting any labels, it is just using that value as the label as well.[code]...

I'm trying to make a simple program that keeps track of a list of phone directories. It offers the option of adding new names to the directory and deleting names already stored.I want the program to display a small unobtrusive message when a name is added or removed.For example, a label that shows "James Potter added to directory..."and then disappears after a few secondsGoing through th file mentions the timer but it seems like an awfully long winded way involving a new control and a new subroutine for every single timed event. I was wondering if there's an easier way, perhaps a single command like:

I am busy with a routine that will draw a bar chart.The X-axis is from 0 -100, no problem. The problem is the Y-axis.it will range from 0 to whatever the highest y-value will be.
My problem is that the y-axis should still be divided into 10 intervals, and the lenght of my y-axis should be the same in my picture box.I am using an array to fill the values, chartdata (0-9). It gets 10 values from the program. the values are 0 -10, 11 -20,21-30....91-100 . here is the code. It is working, but my Y-axis is messed up. Printing the labels of the y-axis is a problem.
Private Sub PictureBox1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.Paint
Dim chartData() As Single = {mark0, mark10, mark20, mark30, mark40, mark50, mark60, mark70, mark80, mark90}[code]......\vb

I have a windows forms project in VS2010 with a simple line chart.The data is dynamic and always ranging between 1.4000 and 1.5000.I want the Y axis's gridlines/labels to always be displayed on every #.##20 data point, as in: [code] So I tried the Interval property for the axis gridlines/ labels, setting it to 0.002, and the result was that the gridlines/labels were displayed every 0.0020 points, like for example this: [code]
but not on 0.0020 points too as shown previously.

I am working on a program to turn on devices at times of day and days of week. I am designing it for 15 devices and each device has a file. The problem I have is monitoring all 15 files. I can monitor each one and it works for that device, but only the device file I have called. I used data binding to create the files and can display the files one at a time, but I need to monitor the info on all 15 files actively.

I have created a windows service and I have two different timer variables in there. 1st one fires off every 5 seconds and then does whats it is required to do. The second one fires every 30 seconds.
I make sure that when the function are getting executed I disable both the timers and enable once the function is complete.My problem is my second longer (30 second ) timer never fires only the first one is firing. I had created this service 3 months ago and it was working fine till now. But now I do not see the timers work properly in a simple windows app i created to test their workings.

I have a timed event that displays a balloon in the system tray. I would like this icon to remain active for 2 minutes or when the user closes it. When this time expires, the balloon should close and begin a function. I am having 2 problems with this:
1) The baloon icon is limited to between 10 and 30 seconds, when the user is active, so it closes to soon.
2) when the user is not active, the inactive time does not count agenst the timer.

I have some software that grabs information from a mysql server. However, users minimize it to the system tray, and leave it idle for hours until using it again.If a user leaves the program idling for about 15 minutes, then goes into the program again to perform a query, it throws a Fatal Error in the mysql, and says 'connection must be valid and open'
The reason is simply because the mysql connection has timed out..I was wondering what the code would be to re-connect to the server IF it has timed out.
