I have made a webpage that when u visit it, then automatically a mail is being sent to me as notification.
I am using Windows XP and I have made a shortcut to my desktop that opens Internet Explorer with my webpage.

What I want to do - When K8055 button is pressed, that Shortcut is executed.

Any help would be really appreciated …

This little program might do the job for you.

The menu’s are Dutch only so

  • Instellingen is Dutch for settings.

You have to select USB (k8055) as the interface and you can select the preferred card number. (0…3)
Then click edit and select the program you want to be started by button.

These settings are saved to disk.

Remember that the selected card can’t be used by another program as long this program is runnning.

Thanks a lot!!! I will give it a try.
And Dutch is not a problem, because I have a good friend named Google Translator :slight_smile:

Works fine!
All 5 input buttons can be assigned to different programs.
Although it allows only EXE files, so you must use converters to make scripts to exe.

Here is online converter for BAT to EXE: [color=#FF0000]http://www.f2ko.de/ob2e/ob2e.html[/color]

This is how to open web page by K8055 button :

First open Notepad and write:
start iexplore http://www.yahoo.com

Then save it as TEST.BAT

Then go to this address http://www.f2ko.de/ob2e/ob2e.html and convert it to TEST.EXE

Now it is ready to be assigned.

Very good program!
Thanks again!

You’re right about the .EXE and .BAT extension. The problem will be the same with .COM
There is no reason for that they are excluded, I just didn’t think of if before.

For now I think that you can better edit the StartByIntFace.dat file than changing .BAT to .EXE
When you open it with notepad you can edit the programs you want to start.
Don’t add or remove ENTERS !

In the next version I’ll make BAT and COM standard available.

nice! :smiley:
Modifing StartByIntFace.dat works fine :slight_smile:

Also your EasyProgIntFace is also very-very good!!!
Programs like this should be on the CD that was included to K8055 board.

… because not all people are programmers
