The Velleman K8055 USB Interface

[Puggs]

Hi

The Velleman K8055 USB interface board has 8 Open Collector outputs, 2 DAC/PWM outputs and 5 Inputs as well as 2 ADC inputs. It useses a custom programed Microchip PIC16C745 to do the USB IO and comes with a very basic program to control the board.



I intend this use this for testing some of my circuits without having to program a chip from scratch.

Interesting you mention the K8055 from Velleman on your site.

I just built one here and I'm trying it out.

I have VB.net and I'm going to design some software for it to control things like winamp, ventrilo, and some other stuff.

It sure looks like an interesting board.

it is, i had high hopes for this board, but like all things i don't have time for it, i have a second kit that i have never put together.

maybe when i retire in 25-30 years i will have time to play with things like this.

let me know how you go, if you need to host any programs or such, feel free to use the forum

Thanks for the reply.

I know what you mean.

heh, I used to host a forum much like this. The servers are still up, but I don't host a forum anymore. I just host things that I want to show people, and run my own mail service.

As far as this velleman board, who knows what I'll make it do, but I think I'll have some fun with it.

I like the fact that they provide DLLs with it and some example VB code.
