iPad operation over wireless to the K8090 card

I purchased the iPad app for remotely operating the K8090 card. I can make the card communicate with the test program directly from Windows 7, but cannot get the wireless link to work from the iPad. The app has asked me to install an IP number which I assume is the IP number for the computer. That did not work for me. I keep getting an Error: (Server not responding.)

There was a file to be installed on the desktop computer which has a name dealing with the K8090 server. This file failed to load correctly and indicated a windsock error 10049, whatever that means. Maybe that has something to do with the communication problem.

Any clues on how to make this thing work?

The K8090 iPhone/iPad app is not made by Velleman, for suport, please contact the developer.

for your problem -> We have to edit the configuration file manually too, maybe you can try this also.

You referred to the “configuration file”. Is that a Velleman file or a file from the app developer?

Thanks for your help.

You didn’t change the IP address in the configuration file to your own local IP address.

The server application that you downloaded from his support website contains three files:

  • conf.ini
  • k8090d.dll
  • serv_1.0K8090.exe

The conf.ini file is the configuration file everyone’s been talking about, you can open that file in any text editor. You will need to edit it to reflect your settings.

[conf]
COM=COM3
IP=192.168.0.2

Set IP to your own local IP address, and COM to the port of your K8090

How do I find the IP address of my PC computer? I tried typing IPCONFIG but the window pops up and then goes away in about a half-second. I know that worked on an older computer I had. I am using WIN7 now.

I use an external router to provide wireless communications for my iPad. I know the K8090 board uses COM3.

Thanks, EllisD

  • Run cmd.exe instead of ipconfig.exe
  • A black console window will open
  • Enter ipconfig.exe
  • Read your IP address next to ‘IPv4 Address:…’

Originally, the App was written by a third-party, however we have acquired the source code.
Unfortunately, we do not have the means to change or adapt the code, unless a there is a serious bug of course.
Please understand that customizing the code for your particular purpose is also not possible.
