K8063 vb.net

Kits Timers and Clocks

Hi

I am trying to build a program to send commands to the K8063. I have looked at the source code available which is written in VB6 and my problem is that my program is written in VB.net and I cannot convert the code or figure out what format I should be sending the commands in.

I would be very greatful for any help

Thanks

The sample code is just a simple “serial transmit” routine. If you have already some experience in vb.net you should be able to translate the code into vb.net or any other language.

I have converted the VB6 code to VB.Net 2005 but can’t get it to work - it is opening the port correctly, seems to be sending the correct command strings, but nothing is being displayed. The compiled VB6 examples are working.

I will have to load VB6 on my machine and debug the code in both versions side by side to see what differences there are!

If I get it working I’ll post a link to my source code

hello,

I’m curious about the8063 Velleman kit.
Can be use as clock ? if yes, can be stand alone or does it have to be always connected to a computer ?

Thanks.

It can be used as a clock, however it needs to be connected to a PC at all times.
