VM110 First project timers

I have been making solo attempts but sadly I am several years out of practice and far longer since I’ve worked outside of pure software. For this reason I was hoping someone had the patience for someone thats new to working with kits.

I have gotten the demo working and confirmed the board is working fine.

The goal of the project is to use the board to control a series of solenoids to move fluids. Ultimately I would just need a basic series of timers to turn them off and on. I also wish to include a heating element and temperature gauge since I want to heat the water but I am having trouble finding those components. If anyone has any suggestion for compatible parts I’d also appreciate help there.

This is fairly new to me and it is a tad overwhelming. I’m not certain where to start but I thought the forum for these specific products might help me get started. Sadly the only tutorials I was able to find were so out of date they do not work for any programming environment I can find. This includes what I learned myself back in college.

I have Visual Studio Code but if there is something easier to use I’m open to suggestions there as well.

I am not very good at programming but really enjoy working with the K8055.
It sounds like you could use relays to drive your equipment.
There are examples in the manual to show you how to connect them to the K8055
I also use Visual Basic 2008 Express (I know that have higher versions)
I found a lot of good information on You tube for the programming portion.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried looking for visual basic 2008 but it looks like microsoft doesn’t support it anymore. Do you know of a trusted site to get it? I think I might have better luck with it since I am pretty sure its what I originally learned on

Try this download.
It should include VB 2008 Express.

I dont have a iso mounter. I found the installer but when I try it it says I need visual studio, and when I try to download the SDK it says I need service pack 1. So it seems I’m in an error loop
