Hi

I'm thinking of buying the Velleman K8055 USB EXPERIMENT INTERFACE BOARD to play around with. It comes with a DLL for programming languages. Here is what the blurb says

I would say that it's likely that you will be able to use it. However, I haven't tested it
and my thoughts are based on speculation only. VDS generally supports almost all
calls to non-VDS DLL's, but in some cases it may be difficult or nearly impossible
to manage certain complex functions without a lot of work.

If you can't call the DLL from VDS directly I am entirely sure that Dragonsphere's
Gadget.dll would be able to handle the job.

Hi all

Been very busy on other scripts so this has been on the back burner.
Finally got round to getting the DLL to work.

I've use to methods, firstly I used the @lib() function which was very
easy. Secondly I used the third party extension 'vdsug'
this needed a little more code but worked very well also.

Here is a short script to turn on all the Digital outputs(LED's) and then
turn them off again, just to show contact his been made.
