I have written a programm with visual basic 2008 express edition and I'd like to use the parallel port to communicate with my self-made circuit. I want to controll 120 LEDs with the parallel port but I don't get it how. I know how to activate the databus but not how to activate the controle lines of the parallel port.

View 4 RepliesI am trying to send and receive packets over the LAN (i.e. NIC port) using VB.NET. I found some code that uses Socket wrench, but problem with such solutions is that users will need to install extra drivers and all which I do not want. I am looking to use drivers native to the .NET environment to send and receive packets through the LAN port. My windows forms application is in VB.NETneil

View 1 RepliesI have a program that connect to 2 printers at the same time. Ribbon Printer and Label printer.
I have set the ribbon printer to be the default printer of the server so that normal document printing can be printed using it. This is very simple and i already finsih the code for it.
However i have a Parallel printer at Port LPT1 which i wish to use it to print label. I have search online but find no solution on how to open connection to LPT1 and print the document in coding.What i can find i only send a window command to the port LPT

View 1 Repliesim new around here and also to VB.NET infact any aspect of programming, im hoping to be able to some useful stuff but at the momment im a little stuck i only have basic knoweldge so anyway here goes im programming in VB.NET 2008 Express edition, im also using inpout32.dll which is running ok and also controlling the parallel port fine.the problem i have is as follows the program so far is controlling the 8 outputs at the momment, i can turn each individual one on but when i try to turn multiple outputs on it will only turn on one and the other that was turned on goes off i understand its controlled in a 255 bit array but how to decode it is a little tough

View 1 RepliesI've been trying to this application in Visual Studio 2010 to only write to the parallel port, so supposedly it would be a very easy task, and by all the tutorials in the internet i've seen before it really is! Although it throws me always the same error which is too generic and don't give enough information for me to solve it. I'm doing this using the "Inpout32.dll" library to make the communication between VB.NET and the port..

i used following method.

if i set the value of mytime less then 2000 my motor does'nt work at all. i tried also with the timer tool and i wrote the code in the tick event of timer but it is also very slow.
Can someone tell me if the functionallity to control a parallel port in MS VB 2010 Expess exists? I was expecting to have to add a reference such as the microsoft comm control 6.0. However this reference does not appear in the list. Everything I search for references .net 2005/2008.
View 4 RepliesDoes anyone have experience writing data to the parallel port (printer port) in Windows 7 64-bit. I have been trying inpout32.dll, inpoutx64.dll and following all the info on http://www.highrez.co.uk/ and www.logix4u.net but can't get anything to work. I have an on-board parallel port at &H378 - not an add-on card - and have tried various modes in the BIOS (standard, ECP etc). I have a background in electronics so I am confident my testing methods are sound; I just cannot get a data bit to change state under program control. I need to send data to an 8-bit port on some 20th Century electronics so serial/USB interfaces are not really an option. There must be a way to control those 8 data bits in Windows 7, mustn't there?
View 14 RepliesI have a fairly old radio receiver. (Icom R70) A friend and I have built an interface to control it from my computer. The interface is parallel. For me the interface is a black box. (My friend is the electronics specialist) In the description (25 years or more old) the statement to set a frequency and receive mode (like Am, FM etc) on the receiver is:print ".0:087330"
Today I am working in VB.Net and on Windows7 pro. I have already spent several days figuring out how to do this, but can't get it to work.I have found inpout.dll, but that does only allows me to write one byte at the time, and if I break up the above string and send nine individual characters, it does not work.
I have a problem with something.I have a Arduino board I wan't to communicate with by serialport.
In "Form1", I'll retrieve values from the Arduino board, and I want it to calculate and display data in TextBoxes.How can I do this?[code...]
What i want it to do is 'listen' to the lpt port, when a sensor is broken then display the time. there are two sensor to measure the time of the first and then the second sensor.How do i get VB to listen to the sensors which are on two different inputs of the lpt port and time stamp in micro seconds. I can get it to read the state of the input on mouse click but i need it to display the time in micro seconds when the input changes. i will then use the times from the two sensors to work out the time it took between both sensor changing.

View 4 RepliesI will be using .Net to communicate with a small unit that outputs data via a serial port. I have used an application that monitors the data between an application and this little box. What I see is functions such as IRP_MJ_CREATE, IRP_MJ_READ, etc. At first I thought I needed to build functions and I would send these via the serial port (a novice thought) now I see that the above functions are part of the Windows Driver Kit. So is it true that I call these functions in my code and then the underlying drivers communicate to the serial port and the approppriate data is seen at the serial port. So for .Net (VB) I need to find and use the appropriate functions and communicate to the serial port.
