Serial2 and binary transfers

[agraham]

The problem is described in this thread http://www.b4x.com/forum/questions-help-needed/3155-receiving-byte-value-0x1a.html

To be able to use Serial2 for binary transfers the extra EOF event needs to be ignored so the event code needs to be something like this

        private void sp_DataReceived(object sender, SerialDataReceivedEventArgs e)
        {
            if ([COLOR="Red"]e.EventType == SerialData.Eof [/COLOR]|| !enableOnComm)
                return;
            if (OnCom != null)
                OnCom(eventObject, null);
        }

Erel,

In the article referenced by agraham - 'Serial Communicationwith Visual Basic .NET' - it metions a few more events that may be raised. I'd be grateful if you would look to see if these events may be incorporated in Serial2. I'm particularly interested in the EV_CTS, EV_DSR and EV_RLSD events.

Best Regards,

Christopher

You could also add SerialPort.CDHolding as a CD property and SerialPort.GetPortNames which might be useful. That might just about complete the useful exposure of SerialPort.
