- TWUsb2.4 – It worked well, but it was in my opinion too overloaded with functionality that is not needed by this project, has only German documentation and is only for Windows via DLLs.
- J-K8055-Wrapper – This one has only German doc and is also only for Windows via DLLs. Since this was almost what I looked for since it covers just what it needs, I planned to work on this project and improve and translate the doc. But I stopped this idea, because after more investigation a couple of months later, I finally found this:
- K8055-x64-java – this works via the native Java USB (libUSB) and for the non Windows platforms,you can use the Library K8055 for Linux
How to
Windows 64 bit only (I didn't tried this with Windows 32 bit nor Linux, so I don't know if it works with these platforms, but for Linux Library k8055 for Linux is available and supposed to work):
- Always good to test your K8055 with the supplied software by the board vendor (K8055 Demo)
- Download libUSB (even when it states win32, it has also installers for 64 bit in the archive, I tested version 1.2.5.0)
- Download k8055-x64-java for Windows 64 bit or Library k8055 for Linux (tested with version 1.0)
- Read the Install instructions of libUSB, especially "Device Driver Installation" (The installation of the filter driver is not necessary any more!)
- Attention: At the time when you plug-in the USB port, please remember the USB port location. It does not work in different USB slots afterwards and the Java application (Kettle) will crash on different USB ports!
