I am trying to interface to a Velleman USB k8055 board in RS. There is a plugin available. Great!!!
https://sites.google.com/site/elettroni ... real-basicHe shares the whole Xcode project used to create it, etc, etc. (which is over my head!)
However ...... maddening ..... there are no instructions regarding how to "use it". When I investigating
the documentation I came across as statement to the effect that "When plugins are included (by
being in the Plugins folder, their controls show up as available in the sidebar." .... the problem
is, of course, this Plugin has no controls. It was created to serve the same purpose as a .dll
would in Windows providing a number of functions calls to interact with the 8055 hardware.
Long story short ... how do I interact with a plugin I have no documentation for and which creates
no controls?
I tried:
dim FunctionName as string
dim LibraryName as string
LibraryName = "k8055"
FunctionName = "ClearAllDigital"
if System.IsFunctionAvailable (FunctionName,LibraryName) then
TextField1.text="YES"
else
TextField1.text="NO"
end if
To see if I could determine what was "there" (would the Plugin name = LibraryName here????)
Any help or pointers would be very much appreciated.
