You can use my example skin the get the readings for each button press when you connected the steering wheel control to analogin2.
If you have the following setting in the RRK8055.ini the label for analogin2 will read a value between 0 (is 0 volts) and 255 (is 5 volts)
Write down the values you see for each button you press and populate the value in the RRK8055.ini. See example below.
Because of interference and loss due to connections and wires. The button press will not allways give the same reading. This problem is solved by using AnalogButtonVariance. A AnalogButtonVariance of 5 with AnalogButton1 really means that the plugin will detect any reading between 5 and 15 as a buttonpress for AnalogButton1. In the example below this will send an volume up command to Road Runner
Is it possible to sense the handbrake state using one of the digital inputs and this plugin to set a ' brake_on/off' flag in RR. Then maybe this flag could be monitored by the MotionLock plugin to disable 'in motion' functions.

Why not execute a command (is there a new command implemented in the motionlock plugin? If not, this can be easily added to the plugin) that stops the DVD playback. This can be done based on the state of one of the digital inputs. Will have to make changes to my plugin aswell since it only executes a command on a change from off to on. Should also be able to execute a command when input goes from on to off.

The demo which came on the CD works fine, but the plug-in still doesn't.
There seems to be a problem with the registration of the K8055D.dll as if i try and register it i get these errors. One is by using a 'right-click' DLL register in the context menu, the other is in a DOS prompt.
However the RRK8055.dll registered fine. Can someone post their K8055D.dll incase mine is corrupt.
Any other ideas?
Steve

OK, figured it out. On my installation CD there is a sub-directory entitled 'DLL Ver2.0 with examples' this is the DLL i was using. Having taken the DLL which was in the installed demo directory and placed this in the RR directory, all now works.
Velleman have obvioulsy released an upgraded DLL which is not capatible with this plug-in.
307SW_NLD - Are you aware of this and is it worth me sending you the DLL and the accompanying PDF document. Also it may be worth placing the correct DLL in your ZIP file to save any future problems ?
Cheers for your help, i can start to use it now !!

Test Mode (sequentially turn on then off all outputs)
If not would you consider implementing these commands as they may be useful.
Many thanks

those that use this piece... how are you using the digital 13 digital lines?
You mean the 8 digital outputs and 5 digital inputs (8+5 = 13)?
You want to know how?
Using the plugin you can use the digital inputs as indicators in RR of you can use them as inputs to execute RR commands.
The digital outputs are controled using RR buttons or using a clickable RR indicator.
Or do you want to know what we have connected to them?
Steering wheel controls, Buttons, Door open detection, etc.

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.

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

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
