I tried to download the program on Mac OS X 10.5.2 and when I plugged in my board, then launched the application it said that the application closed. Then if I launch the application first then plug in the board nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

Hello,

Verry nice work! How far are we today? I would like to make ik possible to control the K8055 using a web interface on for example a iPod Touch for a home automation setup.

There’s a sourceforge C project for interfacing with k8055 boards. It’s open source and its also got python support.

Don’t need any of this GUI or scripting nonsense.

I bought this card tody without knowing your programme. After checking on a pc I just connnected to my ibook to what happens. Then I searched google to find any programmes for mac and found your programme. It worked straightaway. Excellent work.
I am hoping to use this board for a remort camera for wildlife photography.
Hope you will find time to develop this programme.

Keep up the good work

Hi Andy
just built the board works a treat on a G4 power book now to take it into the field to control a remote camera directly from the mac, keep you posted at to how it goes.

Hi all, I’m really new to this sort of stuff.

I recently purchased the K8055 board and was wondering if it can do things like power up an electric motor etc…

I know it can output up to 5V, but so far I can’t get the motor to do anything! Who knows - maybe I haven’t plugged it in correctly! ;)

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey Bastiaan! I am doing the same thing you are, but I little ahead of you maybe. I have built 2 cnc machines, working on my third. I am trying to do a USB interface for the mac. I have been writting software in REALBASIC and am working on my USB i/o. Check out http://www.cncdudez.com They made a USB to parallel converter that will drive a Stepper driver board such as the xylotex http://www.xylotex.com
They used easyHID which makes a template program for Visual Basic and Pic basic pro. I am working to convert the VB files to realbasic. RB compiles in windows and Mac and Linix. I hope to get this software to communicate via the USB. I will post all the code for the template program if I get it to work. You can follow my progress here:
