Review on Velleman K8055 Experiment Interface Board by Scott Matute

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect all in one solution

I bought the pre assembled version of this board (bought elsewhere as Revain doesn't have a pre assembled) and it's just amazing. I wrote a C++ program that uses a DLL to read/write to/from the board and it worked in no time. Obviously you need to understand the programming lingo to use a DLL, and luckily I'm comfortable with that. so with runtime binding using LoadLibrary() and GetProcAddress() it was easy. But there are even easier ways to use a DLL in .NET. And the methods included in the DLL are very simple. In addition to user-friendly input connectors, the board features potentiometers for analog inputs and buttons for digital inputs (with a bonus key counter feature!). On the output side, in addition to practical connections, there are also LEDs of different brightness for analog outputs and on/off LEDs for digital outputs. All in all very well done!

Pros
  • Not just useful for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Without car
