• In addition to this, each serial communications device needs an interrupt request number (IRQ) and these numbers are limited in a PC. The end result is that although things look okay, you may still be having trouble with your communication port. On most desktop PCs, you will find two serial (COM) ports. Older systems often have one 9-pin serial.

Re: Serial port communication in asp.net We will use something similiar. My method would be write a windows service running in background and handing with serial communciation or TCP/IP, UDP and link functions to a database. Serial communications can be done via either direct to physical serial port connected to the computer or via a USB to serial converter interface. If the device do require a serial port and your computer don’t have any, you can make use of such converters easily.

Bug In Serialport Control When Using E - 8 - 2 Parameters?

We have been debugging a problem with serial communications with an embedded device on 115200 baud, Even parity, 8 databits and 2 stopbits. The problem: a lot of extra 0x00 are sometimes received from the serialport.
1) We build a real basic sample program that only handles the data exchange. It was completely build according the serial-port-vb.doc from msdn. It was build in vb.net 2010. So this was the most basic setup possible on the PC side. This simple tool clearly shows the datareceived event spitting out extra bytes.
2) We used a scope to look at the hardware bits/levels. No problems / differences seen between good and bad messages. No extra bytes visible that the serialport event send to our programm.
3) We tapped the serial communication and received no wrong data on the tapping system but still on the .net tool. Again the serialport datareceived event gave us many extra 0x00 bytes.
So our only possible conclusion is that there is a problem in the serialport component from .net. My question: Are there any know issues? Can I get in contact with a microsoft engineer?

SerialPort DataReceived Event On EOF?

Im using VB express 2008 (compiled with .NET 3.5) to write a program that communicates with a USB device. The USB device is a communication class device and thus will emulate the usual rs232 serial port once attached to the PC. The USB device sends a fixed number of bytes and i have set the threshold received byte property to this value. I have run the program and it seems to read the USB device 'correctly' but when i debug the code, i realise that the datareceived event of the serial port gets fired on the eventtype = EOF. I am using the Read function to read the bytes from the serial port and the Newline property is set to ' (but i thought that this is irrelevant if im not using ReadLine). When the datareceived event fires with EOF, the Read function blocks until one byte arrives, reads it and calls the function that processes the data. I went through the forum and realised that the EOF eventtype is no longer supported, is this true? I dont think that getting this eventtype is logical anyways in my case.

Serialport.Readexisting Different Behavior?

I'm using the following to read a serial port. When run it displays the data correctly but stepping through the program I find that it loops through the serialdatarecieved event for each character of the port input rather than reading all of it. So _msg only equals one letter at a time. I'm trying to set a variable equal to the entire input stream but only get one character of it.The end goal is to capture all of the data available on the port when the event triggers so that this data can then be processed. I tried using the bytestoread function, which gets the correct number of bytes to read, and then looped through to read a byte at a time but that didn't seem to work as I expected either. It just kept reading the first byte.

Using .net To Connect To Gsm Modem Via Serialport?

I am doing a sms project using VB .net to connect to my gsm modem via serialport. All the connection and everything was working great and I can send and receive sms. Then here come a problem, I need to send long sms more than 160 chars. I read and did some research and I know that I need to use the pdu and udh. I managed to understand slightly of the pdu packet but is still quite confuse on that part.
Anyone can briefly explain the exact way to do the concatented sms (long sms)?Another problem is how can I use vb to encode the data into pdu gsm 7bit data? Is there any built in functions or do i need to write them myself?

VB 2008 On XP Exception With Serialport?

I am trying to access a printer via the serial port in VB Express 2008. I wrote a small prog with buttons on the form to exercise the escape codes in a Windows Vista 32 laptop with a USB to serial adapter. Only 3 codes worked, BEL, reset and a printer specific command. Also, when i try to receive data, it justs times out. So, I tried to move to a WinXP machine with real serial ports. The program now has an illegal argument exception and the message is to the effect that the name of the port for the property portName does not start with COM/com. Which is very puzzling because I did verify the portname and it is com1.Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong? The form works on Vista but not in XP.

Vendor & Product ID Using SerialPort?

Serial Port Communication Asp Networking

I am writing a program which detects a development board I designed which communicates with an FTDI chip. Right now my program scans any COM ports and generates a list, which the user will then choose from and connect with that device. The problem is that I want to isolate that list to only the devices which I designed. The FTDI has a unique manufacturer and device ID, but I only know how to access this data 'the old fashioned way' (i.e. through device manager).
What I would like to know how to do is determine the VID and PID of a COM port from VB, so I can dynamically get rid of any devices which do not meet the proper requirements and thus my list will only show the correct devices.

VS 2008 SerialPort Hang-up?

I am trying to send and receive data using the SerialPort component. I am sending data to an Texas Instruments MSP430 which simply echos the sent character. I wanted my VB solution to read characters from a file, send a single character, and wait until the echoed character is received before sending another.
I have been fairly successful thus far but I have run into a little catch. When I attempt to send large files (323505+ characters) my MSP430 just hangs there and will not receive any more characters. My VB app return to VS '08 with timeout errors (timeout set to 1 minute).
I wanted to post my VB code here to see if the problem is from my VB app. I will be posting this problem on the IT usergroup to sort out anything on the MCU end. Here is the pastbin of the data write and the data receive subs:[URl]..

Working With SerialPort Control?

output.gif?I've just upgraded to Visual Studio 2008 and have been given a project and getting gps string from a radio via the serial port. I used a program called 'SerialWatcher' and it monitors the data coming in from the radio. It works perfectly. When I tell it the port and settings, click Open, I get consistent output. Here is an example of the data that I got:
<NUL><STX>$PKLDS,124043,A,3337.8562,N,08418.8077,W,000.0,146.5,091109,00,101,2190,80,00,*1C<CR><LF><ETX><STX>$PKLDS,124104,A,3357.1421,N,08403.0604,W,000.0,000.0,091109,3.0,W00,101,3003,80,00,*61<CR><LF><ETX><STX>$PKLDS,124128,A,3354.1213,N,08414.3434,W,000.1,274.3,091109,4.9,W00,101,2576,80,00,*64<CR><LF><ETX>
[code].....
The little icon symbol before the dollar sign is actually two symbols which I think are the <stx> and <etx>. I'm including a screenshot to show what they actually look like. From the output my program created all I would need is actually the last line. I can't really check for 'length' because some data received by the radio will be half that length (or more than half). But there should always be a start and end (regardless of what is in the middle) I would think.

Aborting A SerialPort Readline Method?

I have a program that is hooked to an external device via rs232. I can send and receive messages to this device just fine using the ReadLine() method of the serial port. This allows me to send a command and wait for a response in a synchronous manner. However, when I start the program I need to check the status of the device. If the device is in a sleep state, off, or on, I send a command and get a response, however, if the machine is unplugged, I get nothing so my program will hang waiting for a response before continuing. I would like to abort the readline after 1 minute and display a message that the external device is not connected or having a problem, etc. and allow the program to load. The command I use to check the device is:
Do Until Mid(balanceStatus, 1,3) = 'S S' 'This is the return command that the status is read
spBlance.Writeline ('S')
balanceStatus = spBalance.Readline 'This will cause the program to hang if the external device is unavailable[code]....
That readline is causing the program to hang. So I need a way to abort if it exceeds a certain time (around 1 minute). I was trying to use the DataReceived Event of the serial port, but I need to wait for a response before continuing and DataReceived fires on its own thread.If there is a way to abort the thread, I was thinking of doing a timer control.

Calling A Serialport Handle From A Loop?

I am trying to run the function:
Code:
Private Sub port_dataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles port.DataReceived
from inside a while loop of a different function ie.
Code:
While A_switch = 0
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100) ' Sleep for .1 second

the real problem is that the serial call updates the value of A_switch which is need to exit the loop at the correct time?

Communications :: SerialPort Timing Control

Serial Port Communication Asp Net Acces

I am using VB2008 SerialPort to communicate with a device. My problem is, using RTS handshake I am missing the first 50 or 60 chars, after that everything is intact. I tried to change the buffer size - Has no effect, used standard, bigger, smaller and no change.
The device timing says when it sends CTS signal, it will start listening 100ms after that. I have no clue how to delay the write to test this. Should I first write to the buffer then write to the port after a a 100ms timer event?
