Hi,

Another question.

Now I can connect my RFID device to my laptop via USB converter. Then, when I try to wave my card at RFID device, it cant detect the tag number at that card. Im using VB.net as my coding. Shud I change the setting of my coding to made the RFID can detect the tag number?

The following is the block of my coding:

Private Sub frmUser_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Try
myComPort.BaudRate = 9600
myComPort.Parity = IO.Ports.Parity.None
myComPort.DataBits = 8
myComPort.StopBits = IO.Ports.StopBits.One
myComPort.Handshake = IO.Ports.Handshake.None
myComPort.ReadTimeout = 3000
myComPort.ReceivedBytesThreshold = 1
myComPort.DtrEnable = True

myComPort.Open()

Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End Sub

Seems like you didn't specify your PortName for the serial connection. It should be the port number created by the USB to serial converter. You can check in Control Panel > System > Device Manager. You'll see Ports (COM & LPT) if the device is properly connected. The COM number is stated under this category.
