Thanks

im no expert on binary but i think you have an error in your binary value (k8090_VisualBasic.pdf bottom of page 11) it says 01000100 when it should say 10000100

6

You are correct, thanks for noticing! Did you find it easy to understand the examples and the documentation?

7

I am not a programmer so the examples in the DLL guide did not make any sense, but the VB documentation and protocol manual were easy to understand. :smiley:

I have already made my control app, it is my first programming project :slight_smile:
But since the card is still not availabled to buy i am unable to test it :frowning:

Great that you found it to be easy to understand, the dll documentation was meant to be a little more technical :slight_smile: The K8090 will get more examples in other languages as time progresses. Even in Small Basic for those taking their first steps in programming and electronics.

The K8090 is now available at your local Velleman dealer !!!

You will need to find a shop near you and ask them for a good price, i’m sure they will be able to help you plus they will be able to tell you what the shipping will cost will be if you want it shipped. Pricing can differ per country.

Hi,
Can the relays be used to switch high voltage (A/C 240v) devices? e.g. lamps, pumps etc?

13

My little dream is an iphone app to control my k8090 over local network , someone can do that?

14

I (thomasdingler.de/web/index.php?lang=english) also plan to do that, but I don’t no if velleman supports this plan?
If yes, let me know.

I have done a little prototype, dream came true !

The K8090 install package contains a new tool called K8090C.exe which will be installed to the C:\Program Files\Velleman\K8090\Tools folder.

This is a console tool to operate the relays on the board without the need for programming.

Usage:
K8090C.exe -p PORT -c CHANNEL -f FUNCTION

p - port name - COM1, COM2, .., COM20, ..
c - channel number - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
f - function - ON, OFF, TOGGLE

Example:

This example toggles the third relay of the board connected to port COM17.

The iPhone application is amazing zachari, very impressive! It’s an added value for the K8090

Thanks for all the work you’ve put into creating the K8090 iPhone application and the server, the whole R&D team has already been looking at the demo video on Youtube :wink:

Excuse me, the example does not serve, I retested k8090c.
other information, k8090c only recognizes these commands?

K8090C.exe -p PORT -c CHANNEL -f FUNCTION

p - port name - COM1, COM2, …, COM20, …
c - channel number - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
f - function - ON, OFF, TOGGLE

19

Refer to the protocol manual for a complete list of possibilities. The k8090C.exe is a simple application that only supports ON, OFF and TOGGLE. It also doesn’t process feedback from the card. Since it is a DOS application, it returns 0 on success, and 1 on error.

Have you published you iphone k8090 app anywhere have you got anymore info on the server side of things. I would be intrested in similar app for the K8055.
