Visual C++ :: Manage Serial Communication With A Pedal
Jan 17, 2013
I wrote a class pedal that allows to search for the serial port on which the pedal is connected. Therefore I send a request to the pedal and set up a timer event of 20 ms. If no reply, I search for the next serial port.
When found I send configuration to the pedal and set another timer event of 200 ms that requests for pedal state. It runs fine.
Now if the pedal is disconnected then connected again I would like it to run again.
Therefore I set another timer event every 2s that launches all what I described above.
The trouble comes because the 20 ms timer event doesn't run and I do not understand why.

The project is about reading data from PIC and display the data on the dialogue created by the MFC GUI of Visual studio 2010. There are 4 data need to be displayed (2 weight and 2 angle). the data will be display on the edit control box on the dialogue.
I have try to solve the COMPort and Readdata issues many times, but I'm fail. I have read many sources and implement the source codes... They are never work....
The detail about the issues that I need to solve is clearly mentioned on the main dialogue.cpp. Take a look to an uploaded zip file that I have attached.

I want to send data from a laptop (windows 7, processor 2.60GHz) to a desktop (windows xp, processor 3.10GHz) using serial communication (using a USB to RS232 convertor). The WriteFile function is able to send the data from the laptop (NumberOfBytesWritten is correct). But on the desktop side, ClearCommError detects no data in the read buffer.
This is the relevant code in my desktop:
while(1) {
ClearCommError(hPort,&dwErrors,&commStatus);
if (commStatus.cbInQue != 0) ReadFile(hPort,&data,1,&dwBytesRead,NULL);
Sleep(10);
}
The if condition is never satisfied. The baudrate and other parameters in the DCB struct are the same on both sides.
The same code works when I write and read in the same system by shorting the RX and TX pins in the RS232 connector.

I have to communicate between two laptops using USB-to-Serial adapter. I have written 2 programs one for sending and another for receiving. Programs were written in both C and C# programming languages.
Using C language: I am able to successfully communicate using C-Programs mentioned below. But the problem is speed. It takes around 1 hour(60min) for just to pass 150MB. improving the performance of this programs...I also mention some comments along with programs for self understanding.Sender File on laptop with serial port :
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <bios.h>
#include <conio.h>
}
[code]....
The above 4 programs behaves as, sender send a character and receives an ack for every character. I have followed this approach, bcoz other approaches were not working fine (in the sense the complete data is not sent, the amount of data sent is not judgeable, bcoz it will different every tym). when i used this approach it worked fine.

I sent 1preample and 4bytes in transmitting side , preample contains only 1 and 0 with 4milliseconds delay, each byte contains 8bits with 2milliseconds delay , if a bit contains 1 it will send 1millisecond high and 1millisecond low signal ,and if a bit contains 0 it will send 2millisecond continuous delay, I have a problem at receiving side how to capture and store the preample and 4byte values in a buffer , i am using ARM processor it will update every 5microsecond ..

I'm trying to set up some basic communication between two programs via the registry.
For this I would like to use the functions
Code:
int value=10;
CString strSection="Data";
CWinApp* pApp = AfxGetApp();
pApp->WriteProfileInt(strSection,ValueName,value);
and
Code:
CString strSection="Data";
CWinApp* pApp = AfxGetApp();
int value=pApp->GetProfileInt(strSection,ValueName,0);
which read/write to the application's registry.
Is there some way of making two different programs use the same application registry?

I am making a MFC application with VC++2012 with receiving data from Serial Port and the data is stored in a Listbox, then after processing (convert into numbers) and get these data to draw a sine wave on the chart. (I intend to make a virtual oscilloscope).
Everything works ok at the beginning, but after receiving about 300 items or above (in the Listbox) the value seem stucking (or lagging) and work very slowly.
I receive data by the SerialPort_DataReceived() method, and process of converting and drawing chart also in this method, I think this makes the system overload!!

I need to send a packet of type byte:
0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x11, 0x00, 0x00
to a device via the serial port and then I receive and store data coming from device like this:
0x01, 0x01, 0x01 , 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x04, 0x01, 0x00.
Writing lines of code through which:
1) I create the array
2) the sending the array to serial port
3) I'll see what I'm sending
4) I get the data
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and C + + or VC++ language.

I create new dialog window. I add container Fixes and change Fixed properties : - AutoSize, +Expand, +Fill to enable other widgets. I add Text View, Textview is inside GtkScrolledWindow which has property X and Y but not Height and Width. If GtkScrolledWindow has scrollbars, its size is fixed, if not - size depends on the content Textview and grows when I type text. I want not to grow control if I type Text but want my own size. It is possible?

I’m working on a project that has many pop up windows. They are not organized properly and things are getting messy. I’m wondering if there are any common practice or design patterns for solving this problem.
I’d like to give some concrete examples:
1. my program connects to two different tcp ports on the same ip. cutting off any of them, the user will be notified with a MessageBox. But in case of unplugging network cable, both message box will show, which is unnecessary.
2. we provide a shortcut key to display a setting dialog. However the program can also show the same dialog when certain event happens. If the user opens the setting dialog already, those event will still trigger a second setting dialog.
3. when application settings are not correct, user will disconnect from the server and an error dialog will show up and terminate the program. But if the user knows about the situation and has opened the setting dialog to fix the issue, the error dialog will terminate his work. which is bad.
I don’t know how to deal with this window management problem in a complex software project. Of course, I can solve the issue case by case by checking if certain dialog is shown before displaying another dialog. But there are too many cases, when the code base gets big, this is not practical. There must be some generic solution I think.

I wrote a class to manage pointers better (because I am making a large program and don't want to call a constructor on somthing that was already deleted... etc...), but I am getting some compiler errors. I'm not sure what to do.
here is the class prototype:
template<typename type>
class pointer_class{
public:
pointer_class() : dat(NULL), del(false) {}
explicit pointer_class(const pointer_class<type>& d) : dat(NULL),
[Code].....

recently I developed a class header only in C++ to deal with byte arrays. Since I developed programs in other languages that had some libraries to dial with byte arrays, I developed one that the syntax is very similar to other languages.
Since I'm not very familiar with memory management, I was concerned about somethings I've read about (ex: memory fragmentation).
Here is a very simple example of my practice:
class ByteArray {
public:
ByteArray(size_t size) {
buffer = (int8_t*)malloc(size);
}
[Code].....
The class is intended to be used as part of comunication protocol in a webserver, byte arrays are created and destroyed a lot. Should I use pools? Is there a better practice? Am I doing everything wrong (laugh)?
For those who wants to see the entire class: [URL]

I have a class as follows:
class testa {
public:
testa_b();
~testa_b();
testa_c();
}
Then I have defined some variables in testa_b:
testa::testa_b()
{
double aa = 1.0;
}
What is the easiest way to make testa_c() can use the aa defined in testa_b() (without declaring them in the class)?

I need to implement a two-way asynchronous communication between two objects, not using any IPC.
What I have now is a producer-consumer model where producer sends a number "88" to consumer at random intervals. Now, I need consumer to send a number "99" back to producer at a random intervals, this probably should be done in a separate thread.
I am using GNU on Linux, here is the compile line.
Code:
g++ -g -std=c++11 main.cpp -o main
Code:
#include<iostream>
#include<chrono>
#include<thread>
class IObject {
public:
virtual void fromApp(int i) = 0;
virtual int toApp(int& i) = 0;// ???

I have two command line apps, one of them is multithreaded. I need to implement a bidirectional communication between them. Currently I can do
Code:
ProgramA 1> ProgramB
for the first programA to direct output into ProgramB, however I also need ProgramB to send messages to ProgramA.
how to implement it in a easiest way.
btw, I am on Ubuntu. I'd rather not to use third party libraries, Boost, etc.

My program allows a server and a client to chat over a socket. Currently I have to wait for one of them to type a message and press enter, before a message from the other person can be received.
Is there a simple way for messages to be received instantly - but not disturb any message that is being typed in?

I am doing SerialPort communication program where i am opening the port and reading data from port and storing in one document.
I debug my program and check that my read function is reading the data properly but when checking the document i find only unicode.
Suppose I am sending 1,2,3,4 to port i able to read same but my document showes þÿÿ þÿÿ þÿÿ þÿÿ
//My Read Function which read data from serial port
tInt serialport::Read(tVoid* pvBuffer, tInt nBufferSize) {
tInt nBytesRead = 0;
[Code] ....
Why I am getting unicode instead of 1,2,3,4 in my document ....

I read correctly in MatLab some data by serial port of a device, but in C... nothing.
Code: #include <cstdlib>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
FILE *in;
char linha[30];
while(1)
{
// Abrir porta COM de onde se ligou a placa
in = fopen( "COM8", "r" );
if( in == NULL )
{
[code].....
The message "ERRO: no consigo abrir porta COM " don't appear, so I haven't error there. I just do not see anything in the terminal.

Wondering why I cannot communicate with my microcontroller dspic33 with the Hyperterminal program. In the sample test code, I also cannot use printf. They have it set up differently and I am wondering if it is possible to redirect the output of the printf, scanf functions to the port I am using?

I want to read a file who contain a serial of number like in this example : +200,-100,+400,+200,-200 and the sign is very important for the rest of the program so i should save those signed numbers in an array or a struct that i can define with a boolen variable if it's + i give it 1 else if it's - it'll be 0
I wrote a basic file's code reader but i don't think there is a solution on it
Code:
void read_file(char *fil1){
FILE *f;
int ch[500];
f=fopen(fil1,"rt");
if(f==NULL)

I am trying to make a project using arduino to control several power surces by time, i don't want to have an lcd, that would be easyer but i don't have enought space on my project, i want to set the time and the timing for the relays via Serial
Of curse i could set it using the serial monitor on the arduino ide, but i want to make a simple program to make the pc comunicate with the arduino and make it simpler to set the time and similar stuff. How to use one of my usb ports to print and read serial data?

I am trying to convert decimal value 1 to 32 to hex value and insert it at 4th pos of char array and send it as hex value at the serial port .
My issue is it is converting to decimal to hex value but when it sends, it treat the converted hex value as char and sends it equivalent hex value.
For example
if decimal =1 then its hex = 1.
so , writebuffer[3] =1
But when we send whole writebuffer through send function, it treat this 1 as char and sends its hex value as 31. how to send its hex value.
unsigned int i=0;
char hex[3];
unsigned char hexunsigned[3];
unsigned int dec;
do {
unsigned char writebuffer[8] ={0x01, 0x05, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00};
[Code] ....
The send function is
void serial::send(unsigned char data[], DWORD noOfByte) {
DWORD dwBytesWrite;
WriteFile(serialHandle, data, noOfByte, &dwBytesWrite, NULL);
}

how to use this function:
ftStatus = myFtdiDevice.Read(readData, numBytesAvailable,ref numBytesRead);
to read byte from the serial port.This function is part of the DLL that came with the chip(FT2232D) I am using on my board.I want to use the function to read a byte from the serial port and then send the value to the Graphic user interface.Unfortunately I was unable to get the expected value on my GUI.If I send for instance 40,what I get on the GUI are letters instead of the number 40 or at times the GUI will not even respond.Below are my lines of code I used to read the byte from the serial port:
The following instructions are executed whenever the CHECKBOX is checked
private
void checkBox1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
UInt32 numBytesRead = 0;
[Code].....
