C# serial communication example tutorial

Because I participated in a small project and needed to control the relay through the serial port, I learned basic serial port programming in the past two days. A colleague has a JAVA serial communication package, but it was downloaded from the Internet. It is quite messy and it is difficult to accurately grasp the process and content of serial communication. Therefore, I personally implemented basic serial communication programming using C# by learning the methods of online experts. The following is a summary of the learning results, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

1. Introduction to serial communication

The serial interface (serial port) is a type that can convert parallel data characters received from the CPU into continuous serial The data stream is sent out, and the received serial data stream can be converted into parallel data characters and supplied to the CPU device. Generally, the circuit that completes this function is called a serial interface circuit.

The concept of serial communications (Serial Communications) is very simple. The serial port sends and receives bytes bit by bit. Although slower than byte-by-byte parallel communication, a serial port can send data on one wire while receiving data on another wire. The most important parameters of serial communication are baud rate, data bits, stop bits and parity. For two ports to communicate, these parameters must match.

1. Baud rate: This is a parameter that measures the symbol transmission rate. It refers to the change in unit time after the signal is modulated, that is, the number of carrier parameter changes per unit time. For example, 960 characters are transmitted per second, and each character format contains 10 bits (1 start bit, 1 Stop bit, 8 data bits), the baud rate at this time is 960Bd, and the bit rate is 10 bits * 960 bits/second = 9600bps.

2. Data bits: This is a parameter that measures the actual data bits in communication. When a computer sends a packet of information, the actual data is often not 8 bits; standard values ​​are 6, 7, and 8 bits. The standard ASCII code is 0~127 (7 bits), and the extended ASCII code is 0~255 (8 bits).

3. Stop bit: used to represent the last few bits of a single packet. Typical values ​​are 1, 1.5 and 2 bits. Since the data is timed on the transmission line, and each device has its own clock, it is possible for a small desynchronization between the two devices to occur during the communication. The stop bit therefore not only indicates the end of the transfer, but also provides the computer with an opportunity to correct clock synchronization.

4. Check digit: A simple error detection method in serial communication. There are four error detection modes: even, odd, high and low. Of course, it is also possible to have no check digit.

2. C# serial port programming class

Starting from .NET Framework 2.0, C# provides the SerialPort class for serial port control. Namespace:System.IO.Ports. For detailed member introduction, please refer to the MSDN documentation. The following introduces its commonly used fields, methods and events.

1. Commonly used fields:

Name	Description
PortName	Get or set the communication port
BaudRate	Get or set the serial baud rate
DataBits	Get Or set the standard data bit length per byte
Parity	Get or set the parity check protocol
StopBits	Gets or sets the standard number of stop bits per byte

2. Commonly used methods:

##ReadSerialPortWrite

Name	Description
Close	Close the port connection, set the IsOpen property to false, and release the internal Stream object
GetPortNames	Get the serial port name array of the current computer
Open	## Open a new serial port connection
## from the	input buffer Read
Write data to the serial port output buffer

3. Common events:

NameDataReceivedSerialPort

Description
Indicates the method that will handle the data receiving event of the	object

3. Basic Usage

The following is a combination of an existing relay to give serial communication Basic usage for reference.
