thanks, put it in the rr dir andx tried to register it but it said it wasnt a valid dll or ocx, is there a oxc to go with it? or it is corrupt.

[307SW_NLD]

You dont need to register the DLL because the functions are called directly from the RRK8055.DLL. Just need to be able to find the DLL in the search path. So placing it in the RR directory of windows\system32 should do.

[dan__wright]

OK, ive copied the new one to the system32 dir but its still not working, could you post your k8055d as im not sure the one that tissy posted unzipped ok.

Thanks

here is the one i have in my RR folder and the one in Veleman demo folder . hope that it helps...

[dan__wright]

that worked, thanks a lot

[mugurg]

Now i feel better. Thanks to 307SW_NLD not to me...

think the anlog inputs on my board are shot if i connect one or two to the analog ground nothing changes, ive set it the pot on 1 to 3.5 volts and it doesnt change.

it is just me being dumb or does it sound like my board has had it? it was a b grade on maplins so may have just found out why, although they never said it was faulty on the site, presumed it was just a return.

[307SW_NLD]

The potmeter only works if you install jumper SK2 and SK3. This will let you regulate the analog in 1 & 2 between 0 and 5 volts

Connecting A1 and/or A2 to analog groud should give a zero reading.

NEVER supply more the 5 volts to the analog in

[dan__wright]

yeah i have the sk2 & 3 jumpers in place and set it so it reads at 3.5V, then connect 1 to ground, should that not read 5V? the reading doesn't change, stays at 3.5V, tried it with 2 as well and its the same.

haven't tried it with an external input so will try removing the jumper and use a battery

[307SW_NLD]

No, when both jumpers are set you can change the readout between 0 and 5 volts using the potmeter. If the jumpers are removed it will measure the voltage between analog in (1 or 2) and analog ground. So the jumpers are just there to test the analog in without supplying voltage to the analog inputs

[dan__wright]

Oh OK so even with the jumpers on and pot set so its showing 3.5, when i connect 1 to ground it wont change.

also, what is 'clamp' for on the outputs?

Thanks for all your help

Anyone using this board with standby, and if so, are there any resume probs?

Kinda got me thinking about getting one of these, but I only use standby/resume, not hib...

Thanks for any info!

[dan__wright]

ok is this possible, ive got illumination hooked into analog 5, at the moment ive got it on press that it changes gama, the problem is that it doesnt trigger gamma again when you turn the lights off, ive tried it with long and switch, what should i have it on so that it triggers the event when it goes live and when it goes dead?

going a bit further, is it possible to set gamma to dark when live and bright when dead, instead of toggling in case its already dimmed and then i put the lights on it would go bright.

Thanks

[dan__wright]

ok i was being dumb, i set the wrong one to switch, set 5 as switch and it works ok, is it possible to say switchon=NIGHTGAMMA and switchoff=DAYGAMMA (the day and night gamma are RR existing commands)

realy should of read the documentation lol got it working now, the problem is it will only work in the realys skin,not the menu, the DEAFULT & menu.skin section both have the same content and i havent changed anything else other than making Analog 5 a switch, any ideas?

Edit: Now working fine, i had the 2.1.0.0 dll, downloaded the 2.1.0.3 and registered it, works great thanks for such a great plugin.
