receiving the data from serial port and show a new screen (C# .net micro framework)

2 New Member
Hi,

I am creating an interface which contains the listbox(C# .net micro framework). When the listbox item is seletected, it will send a character to the serial port and show a "send command" screen. When receiving the data from serial port, it will show another "receive command" screen. The problem i am facing now is the program not able to show out the "receive command" screen. The following is some part of the code:

public class MainMenu : PresentationWin dow
{
public MainMenu(myAppl ication app)
: base(app)
{
System.Threadin g.Thread serialThread = new
System.Threadin g.Thread(update Data);
serialThread.St art();
// do something here
}

public void updateData()
{
while (true)
{
importData();
}
}

int bytecount = 0;

public int importData()
{
UTF8Encoding enc = new UTF8Encoding();
byte[] buffer = new byte[32];
count = serialPort.Read (buffer, 0, buffer.Length, 1000);

int count;
if (count > 0)
{
serialPort.Writ e(buffer, 0, count);
bytecount += count;
new WarningScreen(m yApp);
}
return byteCount.ToStr ing();
}
}

public class WarningScreen : PresentationWin dow
{
public WarningScreen(m yApplication app)
: base(app)
{
// do something here...
}
}

I think maybe is because the while loop part cause the problem, but i don't
have any idea to solve it. Is there anyone can help me?

Thanks,
Celine

Hello to everybody, I've done an application that draws in a frame the trajectory of a robot. The robot position is readed through the serial port, and several commands are wrote through the same port to change the direction of the robot. The trajectory frame is managed by an applet, and the project works good when the applet is called by a html document allocated in the same local machine under W98 where the classes and the serial port...

Many moons ago, I took a class in embedded control at school. The course focused on a micro-controller mounted on a small electric car that was programmed using simple C code. The micro-controller chip had several pins, some of which were for output and some were for input. The crux of the project was to make the program set the ouput pins to high or low to drive the servos and motors and read the input pins that were attached to various...

I'm a newbie that is still struggling with OOP concepts & how to make things work they way I want. Using Visual C# Express, I have a form in which I added a user control to display a graph, based upon data received via the serial port. If I run the serial port in the main form code, I can get data and, using public properties of the user control, transfer the data to be shown on the graph. However, I am trying to add a feature that will...

Hello, My soft passively listen to a device sending +- 300 bytes of data each second. After several hours of work, the soft abruptly stops receiving data without any error, (while the device sends properly, of course) and I need to restart it (the python soft) to "reactivate" the ports. I read that when the serial port encounters an error (frame error or so, I imagine?) it stop receiving data until the library function...

Hi all, I'm a newbie in .NET technology. I've already developed Serial communication applications in C++ (WIN32). And I wanted to migrate to .NET technology. There is a serial component in framework to read and write on serial port. I would like to make asynchronous reception. I saw that we can pass a delegate to the serial class which is call when some data is readen on the port.

I have an application that interfaces with a USB device using the .Net serial port. The code works fine, displaying live data on the screen; that is until the USB lead is pulled out from the PC when the program hangs. The obvious answer is not to pull the lead out, but unfortunately the application is one in which there is a high possibility the lead will be pulled out so the code needs to be more robust. The form has a timer...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
