How do I create a Serial port listner

Quentin

I would like to create a serial port listener that starts recording
data to a text file as soon as the port starts receiving the data.

How do I trigger the program to start running when data is sent to
that port.

Any help with the code would be great!

Thank you!!

Hi,
I have just started working with the SerialPort class availble in,
Imports System.IO.Ports

You can declare an instance,
Private WithEvents serialPort As SerialPort = New SerialPort()

It have a recieved event,
Private Sub serialPort_Data Received(ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.IO.Ports .SerialDataRece ivedEventArgs) Handles
serialPort.Data Received

This event is fired when some data arives at the port.

In there I use the serial port method,
inData = serialPort.Read Existing()
and then do whatever needs to be done with the data.
I am just learing it myself.

Change serial timeout per read

by: rowan | last post by:

I'm writing a driver in Python for an old fashioned piece of serial equipment. Currently I'm using the USPP serial module. From what I can see all the serial modules seem to set the timeout when you open a serial port. This is not what I want to do. I need to change the timeout each time I do a "read" on the serial port, depending on which part of the protocol I've got to. Sometimes a return character is expected within half a second,...

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,...
