help with GUI via serial comms using VB.net

Post by peeryus »

Hello everyone

My 1st post yay! :lol:

Anyways, Im doing this project where I read the temperature and then display it on a GUI made using VB.net via serial comms. For simulation purposes, I connected up an LCD and successfully display the readings on it. Does anyone know how to transfer the data to a GUI via serial comms? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Well first off welcome and gz on your first post.

Then off to business.

First you will need to be able to read from the serial port. Have a look here
Then you will need to know the format in which the data is written.
So read the data in the format it is exposed in. Transpose it for your needs and then just drop it on a gui.
