826 demo (VB.NET)
To jump-start your model 826 project, we offer a comprehensive demo that provides a GUI for nearly every hardware resource on the board. A pre-built executable is included to allow you to immediately configure and exercise the board's I/O interfaces. All VB.NET source files are provided, including a reusable module (mid826.vb) that declares all functions, types, and constants for the 826 API.
Installation
To install the demo software, follow these steps:
- If you haven't already done so, download and install the 826 SDK.
- Create a new folder for the demo.
- Download the demo (zip file).
- Unzip the demo into the new folder.
You may now run the pre-built executable (app-826-win-vb.exe) or, if you prefer, you may open the VisualStudio project (app-826-win-vb.sln) and run the demo from within the VB.NET development environment.
User guide
Each GUI control is associated with an API function as explained in the following sections. Please refer to the 826 technical manual for detailed information about API functions and hardware, and to the 826 technical wiki for application examples.
