*NEW* USB Input/Output Board -- Fusion Brain

[P3D4T0R]

Yes, lets, because no one has given me any info on the problem of the Fusion Brain not working through a USB hub. Has anyone tried this with a hub?

BTW no more connect/disconnect problems

haven't tried it through a hub yet... that could limit how many of these can be used togeather I guess too, I'll try a few different hubs tommorow, maybe theres a hub that'll like these...

Ok people, get ready. Im just testing the last parts of this. I think it works... But I am too tired to figure out if it is buggy or not.

Give me a few and ye shall have.

Through a hub works fine for me. It re-prompted me for drivers.

Ok, right now when you start the program with no skin, you will get NOTHING. All and I mean ALL Buttons are now generated.

The Configuration Pages are right now completely useless. So I took out the button, and there is no way to get to them right now.

Here are at the moment all the skin commands that can be used at any time for each section except for the main area:

What hub are you using? I assume your running Windows XP? did it prompt you the proper way? Mine prompted me with an unknown device and wouldn't accept the Fusion Brain drivers I tried giving it.

Just a generic USB hub. I think it has to be USB 2.0. Is yours USB 2.0?

The 5 areas are:

>>MAIN
<<END

>>OUTPUTS
<<END

>>AI_INPUTS
<<END

>>DI_INPUTS
<<END

>>OTHERBUTTONS
<<END

To make a button you will need to put it within the needed brackets.
Its starts with #STARTNEW# and ends with #ENDNEW#

Then the factors inside are all the options for it. Some are required are some arent. Youll know which ones are required because it wont work or the program will crash.

In order for the i/o buttons to work they need to know what port they are on. The Ports are 0 index based. And multiple buttons can be assigned to the same port. So on all pages you could have a button for "launch missles" but only on 1 page would there be a confirm or something.

Now each i/o will also need a PID/VID. For all the ones that are currently out, use the string without quotes "vid_04d8&pid_000c" This is now what allows you to have multiple brains. Just assign different ports with dirrent pid's to different buttons.

All the outputs need to have #TYPE# of RELAY right now. That is the only working one.

if there is an animation, it must be #ANIMATION# and then the frames are between {} and the actual on/off states are 1 or 0 seperated by commas. Then 2 colons "::" and how many time to repeat. FOREVER or an integer value. Then the last one is the starting frame seperated by 2 colons again. 0 is what it should be left as.

Yes it is... I got it cheap and it doesn't even have a name on it so I guess I'm in the market for a new one, oh well...

#TIMER# is how long in seconds after the PC is disconnected that the output keeps its state for before it turns off. Maximum of 63seconds.

Now #LINK#... To enable the linking of outputs between multiple boards, the LINK number is based off of the order they are listed in this file. To make custom on/off in pairs or all or anything, just set #PORT# to -1 or leave the setting off. You must still count this though as a number in your list.

So if you have
btn1
btn2
turnon1and2
bt3
turnonall
bt4

and you want to link bt4 to bt1, the #LINK# for btn1 would look like this: #LINK#5 and the link for btn4 would be #LINK#0
