Hello,
my students an me (German physics teacher, parttime cocoa-developer) want to use the K8055 to control some technical stuff with my Mac. There are several links that can be found in the web:
-
Richard Plumridge’s Control Panel program (sourceforge.net/projects/k8055usbosx/)
I used this to see that the K8055 works. But as I mentioned before: I’m a parttime developer and do not want to dig into the mud of C(++)-programming. -
Peter Henderson’s K8055 Control Plus Demo program (controlplus.biz/k8055/index.html)
This program doesn’t compile on 10.5. Because Peter sells K8055-controlling software he did not maintain his program from 2005, and my C-background is too small to find the reason it does not compile. His program worked well two years ago on 10.3! -
Andy Armstrong’s (hexten.net) program (hexten.net/2005/09/19/contro … h-your-mac)
Although from 2005 as well, the last comments in Andy’s blogs indicate that the program seems to work on recent OS-X platforms, unfortunately not on my Macs (macbook, powerbook with 10.5.7 and Xcode 3.1.3). The program compiles but cannot find the K8055. The USBTest coming along with the program says:

I hope that someone in the forum can give me the hints to make the program working.
Thanks
