Chris86 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Hi, I've just bought an usb relay controller, and I wonder how I can control it.I got 8 relays on the controller, each of them show up as an virtual com port when I connect it to the computer, but I have not used dllcalls so much, so can anyone here help me?you can find documentations and drivers here:http://denkovi.com/Catalog/USBRelayBoards2...description.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSorich Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) Hi, I know nothing about this board, or have any experience in this type of programming, but I would start with a look at the documentation linked athttp://ftdichip.com/Documents/ProgramGuide...(FT_000071).pdfThis document seems to have a list of the functions that you can access on the board through the FTD2xx dll library file.I would look into using the AutoIT function "_Dllcall" to access various functions in the boards FTD2xx dll library file.This, of course, would be the way to start after you have the example application working with your board to ensure it is functioning. Cheers, Wal. Edited May 31, 2009 by WSorich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the link in my signature below. It seems a strange idea to have a port for each relay, but no matter because you can have plenty of ports in my UDF. (50 max I think.) Serial port communications UDF Includes functions for binary transmission and reception.printing UDF Useful for graphs, forms, labels, reports etc.Add User Call Tips to SciTE for functions in UDFs not included with AutoIt and for your own scripts.Functions with parameters in OnEvent mode and for Hot Keys One function replaces GuiSetOnEvent, GuiCtrlSetOnEvent and HotKeySet.UDF IsConnected2 for notification of status of connected state of many urls or IPs, without slowing the script.

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted September 19, 2013 Moderators Share Posted September 19, 2013 l4tran, please don't necro a 4 year old post. The very fact that no one has added to it since 2009 should give you your answer, and even if something was found AutoIt has changed a lot in the intervening years. If you have a question, please start a new thread and provide as much information as you're able to. "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.
