Velleman K8055 USB I/O Board Extension plugin

Sorry for being such an electronics n00b, but can you please help me figure out what voltage I can use for the analog input going by the attached schematic for my steering wheel controls?

Thanks,

For the ones going to use the analogin for steering wheel controls or are creating your own keypad, here is a sample schematic that can be used to connect the steering wheel controls to the analog in.



Is also created an excelnsheet that can be used to calculate the different resistor values and output values. You can use the outputvalues in the RRK8055.ini to configure the analog menu.

wow, this is really cool... great work with this, I gotta get me one of those boards

hi is it possivel to control my cpu cooler ?
I mean read temperatur and if temperature is higher than 40°c then turn cpu cooler one and then when temperatur goes under 40°c wait some time and then turn cpu cooler off

on europe this board is avaiable on
www.conrad.de

You can use the analog input to read the temperature and you can use one of the digital outputs to swtich on/off your CPU cooler. You can also use the analog out/PWM pulses to control the speed of your CPU cooler. Maybe with some smart skinning you can automate this. But in my opinion it would be cheaper to get yourself a temp. controlled CPU cooler which will run independantly from RR. On the other hand, paid just 45 euro for the board in the Netherlands (www.conrad.nl) and opens a world of possibilities.

hy tanks for the answer

well I tink my problem will be the "smart skinning"
I hope some one kan help I would like to use this boar to detect the rear gear and then turn on my rear camera.
I thik I m going to by the board and see what I can do.
thanks

A new version is released. See first post. Major changes on the menu functionality. Added some features requested by users.
I'm open for any suggestion/comments.

Have to ask a couple questions about this board before I order.... Finally found a place that has them in stock.

I have ordered some momentary push button switches that I would like to use in my car.

What I would like to do is press once, and relay/board closes circuit and holds until press again and relay/board opens circuit.

Also, I would like to be able to do the above, but create a delay for controlling several servo's. I am making my rear monitors flip down from the headliner but don't want to use micro or limit switches.

And one last question, the link here> http://www.simmetry.com/image.asp?sr...board,+display

is a touch screen that I want to install in the rear of my SUV to control the board too. Can anyone tell me it these two are compatable?

1. You can use the command k8055_do_switch_bit_x to switch the state of bit x of the digital output. You can use the menu functionality of the digital inputs to execute this command. So a button press will execute the k8055_do_switch_bit_x command which will change the state of bit x (which is driving your relay). The state of the output bit can be shown on your monitor by using the k8055_do_bit_x indicator. This indicator is also clickable to change the state of the output.

2. Nice looking LCD. From what I can read from the documentation, this device is controlled by a serial RS232 port. You will probably need to write your own RR plugin to make the touchscreen execute Road Runner commands. What does the device cost. If I had one I would write a plugin for it.

It's $89.00 US and 69.4040 EUR

I really want the touch screen to run several Linear Actuator so it would not necessarily need to be in RR. That screen is for my amp rack and motherboard rack to slide out of the sub encloser in the back of my car

Thank you for the relpy. I have gone ahead and orderd the board and as soon as it arrives, I'm sure that I will be asking many more questions

[Ruffy]

so question.... what is everyone using this unit for?
