USB control of LHIRES/ALPY for just 5 euro

Post by Robin Leadbeater »

Well my 3ukp USB relay board arrived from Hong Kong today
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301004358261
I downloaded some software from here
http://vusb.wikidot.com/project:driver- ... -interface
(There is software for various operating systems, including a demo program to operate the relays so no programming was required)
and it worked first time (windows 7 64bit)

:lol:

Hi Robin,

this seems to be what I was looking for. I have used so far a 4 relais USB devive from FTDI (DLP-IOR4), which came with software but I had the greatest troubles to make it work and it cost me 20 £ plus about the same amount for customs and shipping. The ebay link does not ship to Switzerland but this one does:

If it works as you say, this is great, I have another project where I would like to use it. :D
I am especially interested in the command line version of the program.

Thanks for the tip,

Martin
