hi aral,
Unpack the zip.
Place the two dll's in the Windows/System directory.

You will need to download from the web, [free] the Microsoft Visual Basic 5,runtime files.

Thanks , but this software only reads 5 pins , I need something which reads all the pins. I need it to read al that has been received and transmited and maybe... write to a file or something .. Thanks !

You use the Port control port to switch the 8 port to bi-directional.
or use the In/Out [4] with o/c buffers, to give 8 input pins.

What do want to log?

Hi,

I also have the same problem. I have a programming kit for a dongle and would like to see the commands that are being sent between the computer and the dongle and vice versa. I can't see the zip you refer to in your post above. Is this VB code able to do the task I've described?

Thanks very much for your help Eric!
