   Do note: for one strange reason the counters are swapped… pressing button 1 increases the counter 2 and button 2 will increase the counter 1. The debounce settings do correspond to the correct buttons.
   And the output test is not yet implemented.

   I checked, the buttons work correctly, but please give notice to download repaired v0.3 of libk8055. This works for me!
   And yes what will we do with root access?

   There is a tutorial of how to set up non-root access to the experimentation board on the libk8055 website: http://libk8055.sourceforge.net/

   But I haven’t tried it yet.

   Have you tried the python files?
   They have promising pictures, but they do not compile. Let’s investigate.

   No, I haven’t tried the python library. I have never worked with python before, as far as I know, it is a scripting language that don’t need to be compiled.

   I can compile it. Unfortunately, it is forgoten thet the Qt is version 3 not 4. Keeping this in mind it should bestraightforward.

   I can’t get this to compile ‘make’ after editing the MyFrame.cpp file, i get …

   or vice versa.

   Any clues? I have G++ usblib etc…..

   Am I missing something here that you have installed?

   Peace.

   The compile program can’t find your libk8055.so file. I believe you first need to do “make install” in the libk8055 directory.

   Hi there,

   Bodhi, first I’ve the same error like you :
   MyFrame.cpp:22: error: stray ‘\342’ in program
   ….

   In fact it’s because you copy/paste exactly the : extern “C” { … code from this page.
   Change the “ by ” and normaly it’s works directly !

   Very thanks to Panic1 who wrote this page that allow me to compile this software with the K8055 board !!!

    It’s me again…

    Arff the character to replace don’t display well here ( ” ) : it’s the normal double-quote open string character…

    Hehe, the board doesn’t seem to very C-code-friendly I know I haven’t posted anything in a while, but it’s really nice to see people can still find their way to this information
