Driver1.0.14.zip (ver.1.0.14 update) (size
63KB) **** Updated 22-Jul-03
****
This Zip file contains a new and improved driver for
Win98SE/2K/ME/XP. Several minor
bug fixes and performance improvement. Please see the .txt file for
details (Driver1.0.14.txt).
Also, permissions bug affecting Win2K/WinXP has been fixed. To
update your system, unzip
the archive. Find the files in your Windows directory that are in
the driver update. Copy the
new files into the correct Windows directory (thereby replacing the
files). This is easier than
uninstalling the driver and re-installing (especially on Win2K/XP
;-)
AwusbStuff.exe (ver.1.0.4B update) (size
931KB)
This Windows Self-extracting archive includes everything
below plus documents available now.

C:\ActiveWire to anywhere you wish, then click "Unzip".
AwusbStuff.zip (ver.1.0.4B update) (size
901KB)
This Zip is the same as above, but .ZIP format, not in
self-extracting.
I thought some people using platforms other than Intel
based Windows machine may prefer this format.
You'll need a Zip utility software to extract files.

AwusbIODos.exe
(size 63KB)
This is a simpler version of sample application to control I/O
port of ActiveWire USB board.
It runs from DOS Prompt.
It also demonstrate how to call DLL function explicitly
(without linking with Awusb.lib file). That means you can
compile and run this source code with development tools other than
Microsoft Visual C++.
AwusbIODelphi.exe (size
214KB)
This is sample application using Delphi development
environment.
Thanks to Timothy
T. Orling < ttorling@ucdavis.edu

VBSampleDLL.exe
(size 21KB)
This is a sample project for Visual Basic 5.0/6.0 using
ActiveWire DLL interface. You can control I/O port of
ActiveWire USB board using popular Visual Basic language.
VBSampleOCX.exe
(size 21KB)
This is a sample project for Visual Basic 5.0/6.0 using ActiveWire
ActiveX Control (OCX).
It has the exactly same features of above DLL
example.
Please compare these two and learn difference between
OCX and DLL.
AwusbIO.exe
(size 233KB)
This is a sample application to control I/O port of
ActiveWire USB board.
It's for you to try your ActiveWire USB board.
The same is included in above Driver package. If
you downloaded above Driver, you don't need to download this.
AwusbIOexeSrc.exe
(size 149KB)
This is a self-extracting archive of the source
code for the sample application above.
It's written using Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 and
Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) Library. You can also use
Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0.
Feel free to use it as a reference for your own
design.
AwusbIO.htm
(size 10KB)
This is HTML file with Java Script using following
ActiveX control.
Updated as the .OCX has been updated.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or above is required.
Please set Security option of Internet Explorer to Low
when you browse this page.
Browse now, and if you like it, save it in your local
machine. Choose "Save As" from browser menu.
Keyboard.htm
(size 4KB)
This is another example of HTML with Java Script using
ActiveX control. Click above link to preview the page.
This HTML refers external image files (.JPG).
Please note to download also image files when you save to your local
system.
Click here (size

AwusbIO.ocx
(size 31KB)
This is ActiveX Control for the ActiveWire USB board.
You can use this ActiveX Control from Visual Basic or Internet Explorer.
These was a problem in one of the method,
InPort(). This version has fixed the problem.
Please refer to Software
Reference for more detail.
To install ActiveX Control, first install ActiveWire
Windows driver, then follow steps below.
1. Download this file and save
to your local hard drive.
2. Open a DOS box, and type in
command like following ;
C:> c:\windows\system\regsvr32.exe
d:\your_folder\AwusbIO.ocx
In this example, I assumed your
Windows directory is C:\Windows, and you saved the .OCX file in
d:\your_folder\.
You must perform this command
again with new pathname if you moved/renamed the .OCX file.
A window should pop up saying
the library is successfully registered.
If pop-up window indicates
failure or error, try re-install the driver.
RegClear.exe
(size 147KB)
This is a utility program written specifically for
troubleshooting ActiveWire USB driver installation.
If there were an anomaly during first time driver
installation (power failure, corrupted disk, etc.), the Windows Registry
Database will maintain incorrect information, preventing proper driver
installation.
If that occurs, download and run this utility and
restart Windows. Then simply repeat the procedure for driver installation.
This utility was actually written so that we could
easily repeat driver installation for testing purposes.
There is more to come. Stay tuned! Set a bookmark NOW!
