serial-port

SerialPort not taking input. It throws it back at me!

When I try to write an AT command to my GSM modem, it does not seem to take the command. I have used PuTTY to check that the command words, it does. I have checked to see if the port is opening, it does. What could I possibly be doing wrong? NOTE: The "lol" part is for debugging purposes. ;3 SerialPort sp = new S...

controling individual pins on a serial port

I know that serial ports work by sending a single stream of bits in serial. I can write programs to send and receive data from that one pin. However, there are a lot more other pins on the serial port connection that normal aren't used but from documentation all seem to have some sort of function for signalling as opposed to data transf...

Reading from serial port with Boost Asio?

Hi! I'm going to check for incoming messages (data packages) on the serial port, using Boost Asio. Each message will start with a header that is one byte long, and will specify which type of the message has been sent. Each different type of message has an own length. The function I'm about to write should check for new incoming messages ...

iPhone Port Selection - blocked?

Ok this might sound like a dumb question. Does the iPhone SDK use different ports for different actions? Like port 80 for webkit and port 25 for mail?

Is there a way to establish a GPIB connection using MATLAB without the instrument control Tool box? (I don't have it). Also is there a way for MATLAB to know what the external device's RS232 parameter values are ( Baud rate, stop bit etc..). For the RS232 connection I have the following code: % This function is meant to send commands to...

Will SerialPort DataReceived Event trigger repeatedly?

Suppose I read data from SerialPort whenever there is 100 bytes available or else nothing is done. That means, the remaining data will still be available in the SerialPort Buffer. This reading is done inside the event handler of DataReceived. Now suppose a situation arises, when there there is, say 50 bytes in the SerilaPort Buffer and ...

Monitor a COM port already in use.

Is it possible to read from a COM port already in use on Windows XP? I would like to see the communication between some software and a device plugged into a serial device.
