Howdy-
I recently sold a 9701 set + 9751 serial interface & my buyer is having trouble
operating the 9751 interface.
I have 2 more such sets & observe the same behavior.
I plug in the AC adapter and the Stop & Power lights illuminate.
At this point, what can I do to test the interface or the inputs or the outputs?
I plugged a yellow switch onto a yellow interface plug & press the switch & see
no illumination.
I plug a blue light sensor onto a blue plug & the light sensor illuminates.
What else can I test, with or without a computer, to determine if it's
functioning properly?
Thank you very much,
-Jason

I guess I found this a week too late - "MS Visual Basic .NET 2008 Express
Edition" has been replaced with a "2010" version now. MS .NET Framework has
also moved to V4.
Has anyone tried this with the new MS code? Which of the four VB packages
should I download? Choices are:
- Visual Web Developer 2010 Express
- Visual Basic 2010 Express
- Visual C# 2010 Express
- Visual C++ 2010 Express
I'm guessing it would be the second option, but I can't tell if it includes
support for VB.NET.
Thanks!
Eric.

Thanks for the update. The documentation is well written and organized.
I look forward to future updates. If you need any help with testing or
anything, just drop me an email.

I just uploaded a PDF document to the "Box" url mentionned in the first message.
This document (Lego70909DLL.pdf) is a tutorial on how to make ControlLab
Interface (CLI)project in VB.NET using the proposed DLL. It is also a reference
document that lists all Properties and Methods available from the CLI.
The document is in a preliminary stage and I will probably make some corrections
and I will also add some tips and tricks like how to add timing to CLI project
programs and how to make "One Shots" and more...

Thank you for your quick feedback Brian.
Indeed, I added the Output 2 that follows the switch connected to the same CLI.
I did it while correcting the mistake you pointed out.
I actually have a lego light connected on this output 2...
I am planning in my spare time to build a PDF document that will explain all
Methods, Properties, declarations, sample program...). I might start with a
quick guide that list the Methods and Properties first and I will improve the
document regularly with more explanations and images...
I will update the BOX folder regularly and post msg here about significant
updates.
I am glad it works with 2 CLIs. I hope the response time was as good as one
CLI. The interest for this VB.NET project, according to me, is really the
possibility to build a program that controls multiple CLIs to increase the the
quantities of I/Os while keeping a fast response time.
Thanks again!
Yves
