VM116 USB DMX controller with Daslight software

I just got a new one of these units, I originally bought a K8062 kit a couple of years ago and it worked beautifully with Daslight DVC software. The system was running Windows 2000 which requested the K8062 drivers from disc and all was sweet.

I assumed that the same would be true for the VM116 - This time the system is running Windows XP on a Shuttle AG35pro with dual core duo processors, 500G hard disc, 2 G RAM and a Geforce 8800GT Alpha Dog video card with 512mB RAM. The VM116 was recognised by XP as a Human Interface Device and installed using XP’s own drivers automatically on first connection. The test software supplied by Velleman and the light player software both work correctly, but the Daslight software does not see the drivers at all. What has changed? Any ideas anybody?

Daslight do not want to help!!

Both K8062 and VM116 are seen by the system as Human Interface Devices. No drivers should be needed to install.

What are these drivers you had to install?

The K8062 is NOT supported by DasLight software. Daslight supports only there own hardware !.

Hello everyone,

I bought a VM116 on the internet (new from a shop in The Netherlands).
When I connect the USB cable to my pc half of the time my pc does nothing. Sometimes it sees an unknown device but it never installs as a HID device

I’ve tried different pc’s with windows 2000, xp and Windows 7
I’ve tried different usb cables

I think the device is broken but at Velleman Belgium they said it can’t be broken. Hope someone can help me…

Dear Frank,

I don’t know who said this…
Everithing is possible.
Please return the unit to your dealer, or you can send it directly to us.
(I don’t know where you lived) ?

It’s already wrapped in a box with the address in Gavere on the front…

Once the post office people stop there strike I’ll send it to Gavere…

Thanks
