回應： NI USB-8451 .net c# support

[cheece2001]

I'm looking into probably getting the NI USB-8451 but have a few questions.

I'll be using c# for making an app.  

Is there .net c# library for the usb-8451 so I can take advatnage of i2c , spi and all that?

Hi cheece2001,

To my knowledge there is unfortunately only a C API for the USB-8451. The user manual, found here: http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371746e.pdf details all the C commands. Examples also come with the NI-845x driver download if you want to look at these. This downlad is found here: http://www.ni.com/download/ni-845x-15.0/5611/en/ The driver readme also only lists support for "Microsoft Visual C/C++ 6.0 (or newer)"

Hope this helps!

hi 

I'll be using c# for making an app too.

can you share your source code ?

I need that code very much.

Until now, i was only able to communicate and use the dio function as a switch and still looking on how to use the i2c function in c#

You've to call the c dll in C#.

We have succeeded in using all the features of the 845x library in C# but couldn't share any of that development as those are proprietary.

[Jepoy182]

Just tried to call all of those and managed to resolved all of the thrown errors, the master acknowledged the slave address already but my problem lately was; when I run my code, it stops right after the  ni845xI2cWriteRead.TIA function.

At last, I managed to make it work with a lot of exerted effort for several days.

If it is not proprietary, please attach the code as reference for others.

Can you post the Source Code? Thanks

proprietary?  If you created some special interpreter software but if just taking the NI845x.dll and using visual studio to make some adapted version of the dll that runs in C# then it shouldnt be proprietary.  when I solve it, will hopefully make it public for the world since its not really fair that NI refuses to help solve this. 

No one write a new app in C in 2024.  We use C#.  NI must know how to do this and wants to not help, when it comes time to specify a vendor solution we will assuredly be looking elsewhere for this reason.
