Send serial data to vb.net to gw (usb connected)

[ch3b7]

Im use de beta library, i can send data to gw with serial.write("1234") command and show the recieved number. My problem is how can use the incomming data in gw? Im use this example

if (Serial.available() > 0) {
// read the incoming byte:
incomingByte = Serial.read();
// say what you got:
Serial.print("I received: ");
Serial.println(incomingByte, DEC);
}

if(SerialValue == 1234){
Serial.print("WORK ");
}

The IF command dont work. I try to send commands from vb.net to gw to turn on or off sensor and put auto ID

When you want an example of how a controller works you can look at the vera plugin on github.
It is the example that I use as well for my plugin for Indigo.
Make sure you check 'master' out for 1.3 of 'development' for 1.4.

Please make sure (considering your example) that you are using 1.4 and not 1.3 because the ack paramater (in this case 0/false) is not used in 1.3.

And make sure that this really respond to a request.
So in your case you are actually responding to a request for an id?

Im use 1.4b. If a sensor ask for id and i put this command in the serial windows in arduino it works. If i send the same command from other program like a custom vb.net nothing happend. I think the gw not listening the incomming serial data from the usb. Sorry for my bad english im from Argentina!

Ah, you have to use serial-usb. You can not send it to the usb port just like that.
