Hi Guys
I am connecting my serial rs232 device to the netduino plus 2, D0 and D1 and GND. The device is a card reader. All it does is just returns the tag code from the card that's presented to it. Basically when I present a card. It is returning the following output :
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
It supposed to return the tag code for example #234765732476824
The code is very small so I cant seem to find out where I am going wrong, Thanks in advance guys

while (serial.BytesToRead > 0)

response += serial.Read(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
}
Debug.Print(response);
