So I have made a test version I believe will follow your needs:

- There is now a filter introduced for the analogue inputs. Actually, it is working much better than I thought. I do not feel any lost fidelity
- I have changed the setting options for the "thread wait time" so that the reading of the board can be more frequent if needed (Lowest value is now 0.01 instead of 0.1 earlier, change it to 0.05 and you will notice an interesting difference)
- Only analogue input values are now in the payload. For digital inputs and counters they are back in the event suffix

We will see if other users complains, otherwise I will make this the official version later

Best regards, Walter

Something with w7???

File size & date?

Try to copy the dll-file to EventGhost program folder (\Program Files\EventGhost)

If this works, you have something wrong with the path to System32

I try to use Digital input 11
in the log it looks okey: k8055. DI:1 State: '1' and k8055. DI:1 State: '0'
but when you drag over it so look both like this: k8055. DI:1 State:
and if you write as in the log it dos`t work

Of course you can control outputs, you have just not discovered it yet :wink:

I missed completely to update the latest version in the first post. Problem was fixed but...

If you go to the first post, you can download the corrected version that should work (it works here when I'm testing it right now)

I can't seem to find the option to control output. I think i must have done something wrong. Please correct me if you guys notice any mistakes.

First i downloaded the event ghost program from here
http://www.eventghost.org/downloads/

Then i download "k8055_31.01.2010.zip" from this forum and unzip it to
C:\Program Files\EventGhost\plugins

Then i start the eventghost program by clicking the shortcut icon in my desktop.

I click on the "add plugin..." button (which is right of the "redo" button)
and select k8055 from the "external equipment" folder

As you can see from the screen shot, there is only input options, i can't find the output option.
Another thing that puzzles me is that the LOG says that
"k8055 Board nbr:0 is found and started"

How is this possible? the board was not even connected at that moment.

Sorry if my questions are lame. I really a novice. I am really hoping this event ghost can help me with my project i'm working on with k8055.

hi guys, i found the way to control the output (i think)

But it doesn't seem to work, the board is connected to the computer,
but when i execute the actions, nothing happens.


And there seems to be an error everytime i save the program.
I can't save it, and i have to add the k8055 plugin everytime i start EG.


have a look at the screenshot for the LOG, it shows the error when i want to save,
and it states the output is on but the board LED remains off

please help me...

yes, i'm using window 7.

I've tried moving the EG folder from

C:\Program Files
to
desktop

there should't be any problem with user rights over there.
