hi just got my K8055 board up and running, but

I want to write programs for it and don’t know how to get started

I thought I would write in VB (using exel as an editor ??)

but my VB knowledge is almost non existant but have a programming background

but not in MS, and not is XP

I think using VB I need to copy the 8055 VB lib to the system file but thats it

where do I start ??

anyone

First you can download the latest software package for the K8055.
Here is the link to download page:
velleman.eu/distributor/supp … code=K8055
Download the: “Complete SDK Pack (Rev 4.0)”.

The package includes new K8055D.DLL and sample projects written in various programming languages. - Visual basic and Excel examples are included.
Pleas read the “README.TXT” and the “K8055 & VM110 Getting Started.pdf”.

Here is a link to MS Visual Basic tutorials:
