I noticed ASP.net mentioned when I was searching I'll look into it and see how I get on, thanks for the advice.

Oh that should be no problem, I would have done that when I was reading my vb.net book. I'll have to dig that up where ever it is :)

Any idea how I could control the API code when I get that far,...

All the new features seem to work well I needed to change the keyisdown to allow me to turn and move at the same time but I got that working. Also I had to use a - 4 instead of a mod 4 for the enum...

I've upgraded to 2008e and the code gives me no errors, the control of the car works fine so I know that the key inputs work and so does the CarControllerAction function which you made.

The...

Hi,

Hey,

I had a go at making the code like you said, I don't know how to do a timespan but I've tried to do the rest as best I could, let me know if anything is very wrong. And also the line...

To power light on and off you would use the usb board to switch relays, the relays would be capable of channeling mains electricity. The board wouldn't be up to that on is own but it is possible.

Just a small question here, I'm using a timer in my program which I set to change a variable called "time". I want to put a few if functions in i.e. if time = 5 then change label colour or something...

I picked up the rc car in Argos when I was younger, it's just a normal rc car. The other thing is a velleman k8055 usb interface board, I got that in maplin during the summer and put it together,...

Made a small video of it working, I got rid of the buttons from the form and just left the labels, here it is

Sorry you were right, I loaded up attempt two again and it worked, I don't know how I missed it, I'll work on the arrow keys some more during the week, I have a test in biomaterial's this week so I...

Thats annoying, I'm not at my computer anymore, I had to go to the lab so can't try again but I will later and I'll let you know how I get on, they were staying red when I was doing it, very...

I was trying to have it change colour when the button is pressed and change back when the button is released, it's the changing back I'm having trouble with, sorry should have explained that

That is perfect, it's exactly what I was trying to do, thank you so much for all your help, your a legend. You've no idea how excited I am to head home and wire it up now :)

Ha thats it, you figure it out, well done, I'll just have to use letters instead of arrows I guess or just get rid of the buttons :)

Just to check I done it right, I click on the form, went to the properties section in the bottom right of my screen and changed the key preview property to true. That is what you mean right?

If you add a few buttons to your form gonzalioz, does it still work?

This code works on its own in a different form but when I add it into mine its not working, I really cant understand it

Oh wait a minute, if I don't push the connect button it wont read the rest of the code?

I don't have the board with me, but it does connect cause I've controlled stuff by clicking buttons before...

No that was the code in side my old form, which doesn't work for me, I have buttons on my form does that cause a problem?
