Dear Sir,
i am engineer from Egypt and i sold k8055 kit from el nekhely mall in Cairo and it is matched with my need, but i need more than 1 kit will be distributed in more one place and i want to monitor it by one computer so i need to connect it with router and then connect it to my LAN, so i wonder if you have a product like k8055 in its features but has LAN interface to connect it with my LAN. i will be gratfull if you replayed me soon.
Thanks,
best regards,
Sorry, no such product.
hi,
thank you for interaction
OK , i need to connect more than 2 of k8055 to my computer can i? without any problems.
actually i need to connect several kits to my computer these kit used to monitor some machines in different places, so i want to connect all kit more than 10 to my computer using USB hub.
if i can ok but if not an you tell me some suggestion.
You can only connect max 4 kits. The hard- and software doesn’t support more.
from our K8061 you can connect till 8.
Just a suggestion,
but you could map the other PCs on your lan and just launch and trigger them with a macro program (macro for each command you want).
You will not see the results on your screen unless you use remote desktop and then just “drive the other PCs”, but you for that you could open a session for each control PC and see its control program (demo software). 4 per machine 3 machine 12 total. so your machine will have 2 session open for k8055 #5-8 and 8-12
actually, if you got really creative you could add extra circuitry that would trigger a input back to the board and send macros back to your PC that would launch a “indicator program” showing what is happening. Could even alert you in an alarm fashion.
Not sure what you are doing, but even 2-way is possible.
It si also possible to add LED’s showing what is triggered and then use a wireless USB camera or X-10 camera to see on your PC the indicator leds of what is happening on the remote PC’s…Dirty way to do it …but then no programming and you get 2-way. Although monitoring with camera does not alert you if you are not watching the screen. again not sure what you are doing
The 1-way with simple triggers should be easy I would think. The “monitoring” statement makes me think you are taking input only? so it would by them sending macro commands to you.
I have also seen a few people have programs that log K8055 inputs to a CVS (excell) file. you could access this over the nextwork from any PC and refresh and check the status (and history-updated every 30 sec.) of what is happening to the inputs. Pretty cool stuff
Let me know how your K8055 in a remote situation goes…sounds interesting.

There is a K8055 plug-in for EventGhost that could be used for this. Using EventGhost, you can detect events from the K8055 and trigger messages sent over the LAN to another PC, where any type of action can be triggered. All this without any programming!
Have a look at www.eventghost.org
The K8055 plug-in is “unofficial” and can be found as an attachment in the forum.
