i'm working for a few hours at the communication between my PC and a Leonardo, but I have a big problem to send data from Arduino to the PC. At first I thought I did a mistake at the serial-read or event function in visual basic. But now I figured out, that the Arduino doesn't send data, if I activate the com-port from my VB-program. However, if I use the standard Arduino serial monitor, I get sent data and the TX LED is blinking. If I'm using my VB script, I can't get a blinking LED, however, the communication in the other direction works well. For example I can send data to the Arduino and the RX LED blinks.
Now the question: Is there any function, I have activate to get the Arduino in a sending mode. I could imagine, It could something have to do with “handshaking”???
However, when I use the Monitor Serial, I don't get the error and all the data flow fine, so nothing is locking the port
You aren't trying to use the Terminal program at the same time as the Serial Monitor, are you? Have you closed the IDE?
Yes, of course I have tried to connect via Terminal after closing the IDE.
It happens the same to me, when using the programming port with the Arduino Due, I can only connect to the Native USB.

That would be logical. The programming port is for, well, programming the Arduino. You aren't programming the Arduino from the Terminal application, are you?

I am not, but wouldn't I be able to communicate to Arduino Uno via Serial.print() and Serial.read() commands?
I don't understand why the port is not available when I try to open it from another program different from Serial Monitor (which is supposed to be the same).
Just from looking at other code, the leonardo has some special requirements as to its serial port. probably nothing to do with the comport issue on your pc, but there is something different. If you are using windows, have you looked in device manager at the comport settings for different comports and such?
I have the same problem
arduino leonardo cant send data to VB 6
but I usually use arduino uno and its perfectly works wether its code or its parameter
I have set DTR enable = true (this is usually for uno)
and set RTS enable = true (after googling this for VB net, )
my code
