I wish I could find the program that one could use to interface. I cannot find it now. Tax time! Etc.... but when I do I will share it. I can only provide the quick close sample file. This interface was a standard you output code to a file, it reads and sends it to a selected usb port. It was nice. Generic in form you could control L.E.D.s and simple stuff and then tailor it for more.
I promise, if I find it I will share it. It came with documentation with an eprom flash and circuit controller. I think Bosch? Till I trip across it, I cannot provide any information. I wish I could and I had it half way done over a year ago and the project died. If it went good I was going to ask for a Delphi programmer to tailor and get rid of the interface. I am not sure what all the interface did, but it seems that you set the parameters and it did some code. It said for x amount you could get the source code. If the project paid off it would be worth the investment. So can it be done, I still say yes.

That source doesn't do anything by itself.. In any event, it is not a simple task to have RBase talk to the USB. I have looked (and I mean looked at its' properties and methods) at one component that seems to be pretty sucessful and I am unsure if even resorting to kludges it would be possible to get most of its' functionality available to RBase. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul InterlockInfo" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 23, 2009 3:37 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Using RBASE 7.6 to control physical PC connected devices like speakers and USB or RS232 connected lights and sirens. See Below: This is not the one I was looking for, but I saw a lot of responses so I found another. Now I will admit, this code is over my head. If I were to write such a rascal I would ask RBTI or Member of this list. I am trying to learn but time is short. But I figured I would have to provide the information, examples and specs- well as much as possible. Like I said the project died and so did the information I had. Source Code Not tested! Paul I also believe Razzak has something already or an example that is easier? The credit for the code goes to the team list in the code example. I did shorten/edit because it is not mine to copy/post.
