Velleman K8055 / VM110

Post by lostdreamer »

Hey all,

My first plugin for HouseBot.

Made in VB.Net so you're going to need the DotNet bridge from this post :
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=856395

The plugin is for a Velleman USB Experiment Interface Board ( http://www.velleman.be/ot/en/product/view/?id=351980 )
The plugin will give you control over :
8 digital outputs
5 digital inputs
2 Analog outputs
2 Analog inputs


Next plugin in the make : Active RFID

Have fun with this one ;)

How are you coming along with the Active RFID plugin? Any progress?

The active RFID stuff could be implemented using only the generic serial device - I've been thinking out getting a few to play with. I've used a Maxbotix ultrasonic sensor which reports status in a similar fashion using the generic serial device.

Hi Raptor,

I just saw your private message...
I think the problem is in the API (I see I forgot to mention it in my previous post)

Attached is the DLL file that should be anywhere in your PATH (ie. windows system32 folder)
When you put it in there it should work.

Let me know if it works with the API, if not, I'll see what I can do.

ps. About the ActiveRFID is something I put on hold for now, the domoticaforum had a few for tests but they proved to be a bit unstable (they can stop for up to a few hours)
I might try it somewhere next month anyway but can't promosie anything...

I dont think so, the K8055 and K8056 have different communication, and different specs.
