On the Liberty BASIC Community Forum was a posting asking: Has anyone used LB to interface to USBmicro I/O modules see http://usbmicro.com/ RobotBasic & VB provide this functionality The moderator “Rod” replied: If I take the short VB example listed on the web page it would convert like this. ‘open the .dll Open “USBm.dll” for [...]
A customer was kind enough to share an example project for the U401/U421 centered around the 1-wire temperature device. The project was written in Delphi and is available for download (source and executable) here: http://www.circuitgizmos.com/files/u401delphi.zip You can get the DS1822 from CircuitGizmos along with the U401 USB Interface and the U421 USB interface
Guest blog by Samuel Mishal Hi All, One of the very exciting new facilities in RobotBASIC V4.0.0 is the support for USBmicro’s U4x1 family of USB devices that provide the ability to do digital I/O with a PC and lots more! See this guide: http://www.robotbasic.org/resources/RobotBASIC_USBmicro_U4x1.pdf
Guest Blog by Harry I know this site is mostly dedicated to electronics hardware, and while I do have a long time interest in electronics, I’m a complete newbie when it comes to that. But I’ve been finding my way around the bits and bytes for far longer than I care to admit…since I really [...]
I created a tool that runs on the command line or “DOS box” that lets you use a U401 or U421 (output) in a batch file or other type of PC script. This is output only. You can set or reset the lines on the U401 or U421 using this executable file. The program is [...]
For the people that have emailed and asked for a copy of the version of RobotBASIC that I’ve been using for testing, there is now a pre-release beta version that Sam is allowing me to post. Downloadable from here: RobotBASIC beta version This is a beta version of the program released so that people that [...]
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 The Mail Light hardware could easily be modified to turn on some rotary warning lights, such as these lights from Woot.com. The example pictures below show the modification of a set of these lights to be driven by a U401 which works just as well as the [...]
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 In this, the third part of the Mail Light project, I describe how the core routines were implemented. The core routines revolve around a timer that flashed the LEDs, four timers that check for email at a certain rate, and the REALbasic objects that manage the pop [...]
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 In part one of this project I created hardware for the Mail Light. The idea behind the Mail Light project is to indicate the presence of emails that are currently on my email server with a flashing LED. This software runs on my PC and drives the [...]
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 The idea behind the Mail Light project is to indicate the presence of emails that are currently on my email server with a flashing LED. I am often not right at my desk and I would like to know if I have email. Or I am near [...]
