Serial Port Header for K9A2VM-FD

Does anybody know where I can get a serial port header/cable that works with the K9A2VM-FD? I tried using a generic serial port header, but the header block on the motherboard appears to be smaller than normal. Thanks.

You mean the blue thing? I think that is a so called D-SUB connection. You use that for a connection to the monitor.
Some call it VGA or analogue VGA. http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=171&prod_no=1671#
From what I can see there is no serial. If you need a serial, you buy an adaptor from USB-to->Serial, or a little PCI card to add a serial port. Very cheap, I'm sure.

Adapt QCM serial port VIs for USB QCM

I am trying to adapt Labview VIs that use a serial port and use them a QCM that uses a USB port. Does anyone know how I can do this. I have limited labview experience.
The USB QCM gives me data for the thickness and mass gains of the materials deposited but I cannot correlate those mass gains with the pressures in the reactor. I need to correlate the mass gains with the pressures so I can know the pressure profiles of the materials I deposit. The serial port VIs (for a different QCM) save the data for the mass gain and the corresponding pressure but I cannot do that with the USB QCM. That is why I want to adapt the older programs which store all the information and use it with the new QCM.
Thanks

You would likely want to use VISA to communicate with this USB device. If you get the VISA alias for the device, you should be able to replace your serial code with VISA code that does very similar things (such as read and write). This link shows the kind of thing you should encounter when using LabVIEW to control a USB device.

What bluetooth serial ports settings for?

While configuring my A2dp stereo headset/handsfree with Lion, i notices that there is an option for editing serial ports for each device. It gives some option to add a profile. Can someone tell me what exactly it is for and how can I use it for my advantage, if any?
Neerav

Well, it seems like I've figured it out. I deleted the pairings (and thus the related serial ports), re-paired (probably not necessary; I probably could've just deleted the serial ports and re-added them), and I haven't had problems since.
It seems that the problems were related to the fact that I renamed the ports to considerably shorter names (i.e. bt-gps instead of PharosiGPS-BT-GPSRFcom-1). I've left both ports with their original names and have had no problems since.

Mac does not show UBS as a serial port option for Arduino Uno

Hi,
My Macbook Air with Mavericks will not show a USB connection to Arduino Uno Rev 3. I have tried installing the drivers from: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm but still no luck. Any suggestions appreciated.
Regards,
Alex

I'm running Yosemite on a Late 2011 MacBook Pro...
I've used Arduino IDE 1.0.5 and have recently upgraded to Arduino IDE 1.6.1
I've never had to install special USB drivers.
I simply connect the Arduino UNO R3 to the USB port.
In Terminal, perform the following command
ls -al /dev/tty.usb*
This command will list the USB port for the Arduino, e.g. /dev/tty.usbmodemfa131
Sure enough, this device appears under Arduino -> Tools -> Port
Make sure the Arduino is connected to the USB port.

Process Name when we connect via Serial Port ,Its URGENT !!!

Hi,
I am working with Sun Solaris 9 sparc and in my application,I have to communicate with the serial port.
For every connection we made, in Solaris it creates a process.So Can anyone tell me the name of the process when we connect serial cable??
like USB connection /dev/usb0 or /dev/hiddev0 process is created..
Thanks in Adavnce ...

For every connection we made, in Solaris it creates a process.Are you talking about 'telnet' or 'ssh'? Those work differently from serial connections.
So Can anyone tell me the name of the process when we connect serial cable??You might have a login listener if you configure it, otherwise, nothing is running.
You need to provide more details about how you intend to use the serial cable. I can't tell from your post.

Msi 5124 serial port com1 com2

i have a mainboard msi 5124 and want to use the serial port (COM1) for connecting a standard serial mouse. however i cannot get the mouse to work nor even be detected. not under dos nor under win98.
before i used a ps/2 mouse, and never a serial mouse.
most likely the pin-connections are not correct.
can someone please give me a layout of the pins of the COM1 and COM2 port on the mainboard? on the msi homepage the manual is just 6 pages - which do not cover this information
thank you,
PS: the keyboard i am using is still ps/2 and is working fine.

Serial port init frequency

I currently use LV to dialog with an RS232 device via the serial port.
How often does I have to re-init he serial port?
For the moment, I do it each time I want to send a string to the device.

perform a "dummy" read of the serial port and throw away the data before
sending the serial command.
that way you know the buffer is empty before you expect data.

How to add control buttons using Java thorugh serial port?

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum.
I have some questions on Java and serial port.
I want to write a Java program to control my robot, through serial port. For example, when I click "Forward", the robot will go forward, and so on.
Now I already have the buttons, so next I would like to ask how to interface the buttons with the serial port.
I already have all the javax.comm things installed.
below is the code for my buttons:
import java.awt.*;
public class ControlButtons extends java.applet.Applet
     GridLayout myLayout = new GridLayout(3, 3);
     Button button1 = new Button(" ");
     Button buttonForward = new Button("Forward");
     Button button2 = new Button(" ");
     Button buttonLeft = new Button("Left");
     Button buttonStop = new Button("Stop");
     Button buttonRight = new Button("Right");
     Button button3 = new Button(" ");
     Button buttonReverse = new Button("Reverse");
     Button button4 = new Button(" ");
     public void init()
          setLayout(myLayout);
          add(button1);
          button1.setVisible(false);
          add(buttonForward);
          add(button2);
          button2.setVisible(false);
          add(buttonLeft);
          add(buttonStop);
          add(buttonRight);
          add(button3);
          button3.setVisible(false);
          add(buttonReverse);
          add(button4);
          button4.setVisible(false);
}Now I would like to ask for direction on how to add in the code to make it work with serial port.
Thanks

The plan is, I have a robot device connected to the serial port.We don't know anything about that device. We don't know how to control it. We don't know what you have to write to the device to make it do anything. Only you know what.
For example, when I click "Forward", the robot will go forward, and so on.So what do you have to send to make it do that? and same for the other buttons.
Next, you need to work out from the javax.comm API how to open the serial port and send data to it. This is a standard exercise in learning a new API. You must be able to do this. Again and again.
But the program is useless. The button can be clicked, but didn't do anything.Because (a) they have no ActionListeners and (b) there is no code to send anything to the serial port.
You have to write all that. So you also have to look up ActionListener in the Java API and how to attach it to a button. You can do that. We all do that kind of thing every day.
So next I would like to ask how to interface the buttons with the serial port.You've been asking nothing else since you started, but you've also only done enough investigation of your own to create the buttons. That's only the start.
The problem is what method and command should I use to make those buttons actually functioning.See above. You've been told part of it several times. The rest only you can answer, because it's your robot.

Automatically detect a Printer plugged to a serial port?

Hello, is there a way for me to automatically detect with java if a printer is plugged in to a serial port (and if so, which one) on my computer.
I am using javax.comm, but there is no such feature in there.
Thanks in advance.

I am not very familiar with this area but I am 99% sure you wouldn't get a signal to tell you are printer had been plugged in to a serial port.
Your best bet is to spawn a new thread that polls the serial port looking for a new printer.
Not very pretty I admit but it shouldn't be to hard to do.

Problems with serial port synchronization.

Hello to all!
I have an oxygen analyser, the equipment has a serial port for communication, being based the communication on the AK communication protocol.
In order to request to the equipment that responds with the measured value, the following command in hexadecimal is sent: (02 78474B4FE20 03), obtaining like hexadecimal answer the following: (02 58474B4FE203220323038353030 03), in which it is included the measured value.
I need to have the measurement from equipment in a PC, using the AK protocol and the serial port. For this, I have made a (vi) that it writes the read measure command in the serial port, wait a time (150ms) and read the port, this way everything works correctly, but there is a problem and it is that the communication is very slow due to the delay between the writing and the reading.
If I eliminate the delay, the synchronization between the writing and the reading is lost, appearing readings of value 0. I think that is because the PC read the port and the analyser not yet has responded to the request from PC, and this happens in spite of using the options of synchronization of visa read and visa write vi's, (Do I/O synchronously).
I would need to design a (vi) that hoped that the equipment had sent the last data, and then it sends the reading request again, being able this way to make the communication more fast and to eliminate the erroneous readings.
I have attached two examples, first is (vi) that works well, but has the problem of being slow due to the delay, and the second analyzes the received message to know when this complete and then it writes another message of read to analyser, but it appears to me an error (ocurred AT sights read... Time out) after minutes.
I would thank any aid that somebody could offer to me.
Greetings and thanks!

I don't have a serial port connected on this machine at the moment (they are becoming rare on laptops!) but try this code as a starting place. I notice in your second example you are basing the read on receiving a specific string, in the one I've made you can set the bytes at port compare to a number equivalent in length. I haven't tried it, as I mentioned before, so I appologize for any errors in my code.

[SOLVED] usb serial port emulation

Hello
I'm an Arch newbie. I just purchased an HP Neoware CA21 thin client, replaced the small DOM unit by a 1GB module, and installed Arch on it. I would like to use this device as a kind of data logger, 24x7 continuous operation.
The device I'm reading is an ADC connected via a USB port, which provides a CDC/ACM interface. When I plug it into the CA21 USB port, /dev/ttyACM0 does appear. Under Ubuntu on a normal PC the same happens but I find I can only use it via the usbserial driver, which provides serial port emulation for a USB device, creating /dev/ttyUSB0. That's because I can't get the java serial port interface rxtx to recognise a ttyACMn device, for reasons I don't understand and am still investigating.
So, I have a couple of newbie questions about Arch ...
1/ is there an equivalent to usbserial, ie a serial port emulation for USB ports?
2/ if not, or perhaps more correctly, how can my java app interface to ttyACM0? The Arduino crowd may know about this.
3/ I'm kind of assuming rxtx works under Arch - is that right?
Thanks for any help.

Well, kind of solved. I found that
- adding the "options usbserial ..." line does not prevent ttyACM0 from appearing when the device is plugged in
- once ttyACM0 is there, no amount of "modprobe usbserial ..." will make ttyUSB0 appear
- however, if you "rmmod cdc-acm" and then "modprobe usbserial ..." you will get a ttyUSB0
Having figured that out, I got a test app reading the USB port with no problems. However my real app gave some odd 'Main class not found ...' error even though the exact same jarfile runs fine under Windows XP (you may be wondering why I develop there rather than under Ubuntu. Well, I have a dual-boot machine XP/Ubuntu and NetBeans runs *much* better under XP - quite puzzling). Eventually I solved this by creating a new NetBeans project/application and copying in the code from the existing one - a total mystery to me).
So now the device is in my garage collecting data from my seismograph. I'm writing to a USB stick, not sure about how long that will last but as I don't delete files much it's always writing in a new area and any given area gets very few write cycles.
This is marked SOLVED but I still have not found how to read ttyACM0 and I would like to do that.

Thinkpad with serial port (RS232)

For my job I need a laptop with a serial (RS232) port.
I have the choice of the following laptops: Lenovo Thinkpad X230, X230T, T430, T530, W530.
Neither of them have a serial port, right?
I saw some mention of an adapter for the ultrabay slim bay, that would support an RS232 adapter.
Does that work for all the above mentioned models?
And if so, would the RS232 port work in the same way as the regular one? I need to program e.g. an Agilent datalogger with Labview to measure and recieve the measured data through the serial port.
Kind regards,
Rachel.

thare are two ways :
1. you can buy a usb to seial cable converter.
2. if your laptop have a Docking Station. there is a serial port in the Docking station. Put your laptop on the Docking station, the windows system will automatically recognizes the serial port.
For example, my laptop is thinkpad x61t, Itself does not have any serial port， But there is a serial port on the Docking station.
I am a volunteer, don't work for Lenovo. I am a software engineer.

"Example on reading combined signals from a serial port and separating them for display purposes". I am a beginner in Labview and would appreciate if anyone help with that

I am working on a wireless vital sign monitor. I have 3 signals; heart rate and temperature. I filter and amplify the signals before converting them into digital form. I then pass them via MAX232 before passing them to RS232 serial cable.
I am therefore working on a program to receive the combined signal and separate them.
I have come across serial read and write examples on ni.com but am looking for one where I can actually separate combined signals and display them separately.

Reading the serial port will give you a string. How you divide the channels depends on how the data was formatted before it was sent over the serial channel.
If you are designing the instrument, as it seems from your query, then you can set up any form you wish. If your data is always floating point numeric, you could use space or tab characters to separate data words. You could use and XML format. If the instrument is provided by a vendor, contact them for the protocol.
If tabs are used between words and returns between sets of readings, the resutlant string can be interpretted by the Spreadsheet String to Array function in LV.
Things to avoid are characters often used by serial communications systems as control characters. Carraige returns are
often used as command terminators by serial protocols, but may also be used by the port.
