Hi,
now when I returned to this K8000. I can use it via USB with I2C but now I would like to use it via parallel port.
Is there a general driver available that one can use from for example Visual Basic?
Best Regards
Kari
The LPT port driver included to the software package can be used in 32-bit environment only.
There is no driver available for 64-bit environment (XP, Vista and Windows 7).
OK - thanks!
Is the source for the device driver available?
I am just putting together 1 K8000 more. I will connect three of them in chain.
I am going to write software for both BV513, USB-I2C plug and Arduino.
To put together a slave there are lot of components that should be left out. I have one ready build master board I would like to turn to slave.
Do I really have to remove all the components marked with (S) or is there some key components whose removal would be enough?
I have some libraries for Linux not written by me, which I will try to document and put out.
Now when I am it. I could help out fellow hobbyist with this board and software. I am retired hobbyist so my help is free.
It would be nice to have a concrete project to be involved.
Can I include Velleman originated pdf-documents and software in the resulting gz-file, if I clearly mark them so?

I was talking about the DriverLinx driver (dlportio.sys and dlportio.dll).
This driver is used to get direct access to the LPT port hardware. Normally this access is denied in Windows NT, Windows 2000, XP, Vista etc.
Sorry, no source for the DriverLinx driver is available.

There may be unexpected “side effects” if you leave some of these components on the PCB.
