I have tested and developped my k8061 board application on WindowsXP and Visual Basic 2008.
All is working fine. :smiley:
Now i try to implement this on a Windows 2008 server but can not communicate with the board.
With the ā€œk8061_vistapack_2007v1.zipā€ i have managed to install the drivers, but when i run the demo8061 or Diag8061 program i get the message ā€œCard not foundā€. :cry:

Can someone help on this.
Thanks

It seems you are trying to run the original programs e.g. DIAG8061.EXE after the Vistapack driver is installed.
Only the programs in the Vistapack work with this driver.

If still problems, then the Vistapack driver may not be compatible with the 2008 Server.

You may try this newer Microchipā€™s MCHPUSB driver. This driver works in 64 bit OS too.
Here is a link to download the driver: box.net/shared/8ksvv3zl1o

You have to remove the old driver and install this one. You may check in the Device Manager the date of the driver should be 19/12/2007 and version 1.0.0.6.

Here you can download a demo program to test the operation of the card with this new driver:
box.net/shared/lc0m52r8ey
Just extract all the three files to a folder and run the K8061_Demo.exe.

If you are using 64 bit operating system, you have to copy the K8061.DLL and the MPUSBAPI.DLL from this demo to the Windows folder. (In 32-bit environment to System32 folder.)

You cannot use the K8061.DLL in the Vistapack. You have to replace it with the K8061.DLL and the MPUSBAPI.DLL from this demo folder.

Here is a link to download a full project in VB 2008 Express. It is using this new driver and these new DLLs.

Thanks for the reply.
With the 64bit driver and the K8061.dll from the VistaPack it is working fine :stuck_out_tongue:

Kind regards

Itā€™s good that you got the K8061 working on Windows 2003 Server!

[quote]With the 64bit driver and the K8061.dll from the VistaPack it is working fine[/quote]This combination shouldnā€™t work. You either have still the Vistapack driver installed or the DLLs you actually are using are the ones from the demo packages for the 64bit driverā€¦?

here are the details of what is working:

OS: Server2003 Enterprise Edition SP2
