Programming for Windows CE with VB
Hi, this is kind of the next stage to a dimmer lighting project i posted about previously. I just wondered if it was possible to write programs for CE using Visual Basic 6? i'm developing a lighting system that uses a number of touchcreens to enable the user to interect with it. As a prototype i want to use a thin client system running Windows CE 5 with a touchscreen attatched. The program i want to write would be for the client side (written for... -
This maybe something i missed out earlier in the topic list. I'm using a simple usb interface board to prototype with. It allows the control of digital and analogue inputs and outputs. Basically i'm using the analogue outputs to provide the communication with my dimmers. The dimmers use a 0-10v system, 0v = no output, 5V = half output, and 10v = full (approx), or anything in between. The dimmers are then connected to incandescent lighting. The interface...Leave a comment:

Hi, i tried the example given to me by `killer42' and i added in a bit of code so i could use my interface board. I got it all working fine, but the times seems a bit off... eg 5secs seems to be around 8 secs.. has anybody got any clues? Also if i were to replicate the controls frame to control multiple dimmers would i need to use more than 1 timer? Apart from that i'm one big step closer to cracking this project!
Thanks

Using Visual Basic to control a lighting dimmer
Hi, I'm quite new to all this so please forgive my lack of technical description.
Project background:
Basically I have had the vision of creating a home lighting control system for the last 3 years. This year I have been trying really hard to get a prototype model working.
I need to work out how to use visual basic to 'fade' to a desired figure in a number of seconds. From there I can convert the figure into...Last edited by Killer42; Jan 21 '08, 06:13 AM.
