Very basic VB.Net & Serial IO issue
After searching around I am still having issues with reading data from a serial port in VB.Net/VS2010. I know the Serial Port works, I can write to the port fine but when reading from it, nothing happens. I have only been programming for the last 3 weeks so am still trying to get my head around it all.
The program must run to capture data from a door logger, I will then be outputting the data to a database (not yet implemented - I want to get this part sorted first).
I have tried using several terminal programs as well as another device which outputs data onto the serial line, with nothing displaying in the textbox tbxIn
.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
开发者_如何转开发Code is below:
Imports System.IO.Ports
Imports System.IO.Ports.SerialPort
Public Class Form1
Dim comPort As IO.Ports.SerialPort = Nothing
Dim sComPort As String = ""
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
GetSerialPortNames()
End Sub
Sub GetSerialPortNames()
' Show all available COM ports.
For Each sp As String In My.Computer.Ports.SerialPortNames
lstPorts.Items.Add(sp)
Next
End Sub
Private Sub lstPorts_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lstPorts.SelectedIndexChanged
sComPort = lstPorts.SelectedItem
Button1.Enabled = True
End Sub
Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
' Open the serial port using the OpenSerialPort method
Button1.Enabled = False
Button2.Enabled = True
Try
comPort = My.Computer.Ports.OpenSerialPort(sComPort, 9600, IO.Ports.Parity.None, 8, 1)
' comPort.DtrEnable = True
comPort.ReadTimeout = 500
Do
comPort.WriteLine("Go")
Dim sIncomming As String = comPort.ReadLine()
tbxIn.Text = sIncomming & vbCrLf
Loop
Catch ex As TimeoutException
tbxIn.Text &= "Error: Serial Port Read Timeout" & vbCrLf
End Try
End Sub
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
comPort.Close()
Button1.Enabled = True
Button2.Enabled = False
End Sub
Private Sub SerialPort1_DataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles SerialPort1.DataReceived
tbxIn.Text = e.ToString
End Sub
End Class
PRetty sure this will get you what you need. You DON't need the Serial1 component on the designer. Remove that and use this code:
Private comPort As IO.Ports.SerialPort = Nothing
Private sComPort As String = ""
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
GetSerialPortNames()
End Sub
Sub GetSerialPortNames()
' Show all available COM ports.
For Each sp As String In My.Computer.Ports.SerialPortNames
lstPorts.Items.Add(sp)
Next
End Sub
Private Sub lstPorts_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lstPorts.SelectedIndexChanged
sComPort = lstPorts.SelectedItem
Button1.Enabled = True
End Sub
Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
' Open the serial port using the OpenSerialPort method
Button1.Enabled = False
Button2.Enabled = True
Try
comPort = My.Computer.Ports.OpenSerialPort(sComPort, 9600, IO.Ports.Parity.None, 8, 1)
' comPort.DtrEnable = True
'must add handler
AddHandler comPort.DataReceived, AddressOf SerialPort1_DataReceived
comPort.ReadTimeout = 500
Do
comPort.WriteLine("Go")
Dim sIncomming As String = comPort.ReadLine()
tbxIn.Text = sIncomming & vbCrLf
Loop
Catch ex As TimeoutException
tbxIn.Text &= "Error: Serial Port Read Timeout" & vbCrLf
End Try
End Sub
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
comPort.Close()
'remove handler
RemoveHandler comPort.DataReceived, AddressOf SerialPort1_DataReceived
Button1.Enabled = True
Button2.Enabled = False
End Sub
Private Sub SerialPort1_DataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs)
tbxIn.Text = e.ToString
End Sub
