I am developing the software for the manufacturer and he needs a \004 to trigger an event in the microcontroller.
If I press alt 004 in tera term and hyperterminal it works. I need to emulate that same sequence or character or byte to beable to communicate with the device. If you enter a "Alt 004" at the cursor on these 2 terminal programs, what is sent to the serialport?
BTW I am using VS2010 beta on Vista, could that also be a factor?
Thanks I changed ASCIIEncoding to UTF8Encoding now it works perfectly. I used a serial port monitor to capture the returned data. Exactly as it should be. Problem now, I can capture the data on the port monitor, but where is it going in my code. I need to read it into an array and then acess it to draw a graph. Any Ideas on how and where I should code it?
I am just wondering if you are still having problems with the serial port. If so, I developed a serial port programming language in C# and I believe it solves nearly all of the problems that everybody encounters with.
Would you please take a look and try it ?
For example; I think you want to send <EOT> control character to the serial port. You can do it easily with this application.
