jk8055

Java control application for Velleman's K8055 USB experiment interface board.

Origin

This is a fork of Mario Boikov's jk8055 project.

Mario is the original author. See his project here
This is a fork of his project.

Dependencies

You need to clone libusb4j first and run mvn install on it.

Usage

Either run the class org.beblue.k8055.Main as a Java Application from Eclipse, or run mvn package followed by java -jar target/jk8055-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar in a terminal.

If either approach fails with a JNA UnsatisfiedLinkError claiming it cannot load a library, try adding the -Djna.library.path= option. On OS X this could look like this: java -Djna.library.path=/opt/local/lib -jar target/jk8055-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar, depending on where you installed libusb.
