RoBoIO employs WinIO to access I/O ports under WinXP. You need to put RoBoIO.dll, WinIO.dll, and WinIO.sys in the same directory, as well as install VC2005/VC2008 SP1 runtime redistributable package, for executing WinXP RoBoIO application.

Excuse the beginner questions, this is a learning project :).

Thanks again.

Please put Winio.sys and Winio.dll in the same directory and try it again. :)

Code:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "iostream"
#include "roboard_dll.h"

#include <stdio>
#include <string>
#include <stdlib>

using namespace System;
using namespace std;

int main(array<System> ^args)
{
      
    int channel = 0;
   unsigned long usedchannel;
    unsigned long period  = 20000;
    unsigned long duty    = 1000;
    unsigned long count   = 300;

   usedchannel = RCSERVO_USECHANNEL0 + RCSERVO_USECHANNEL1 + RCSERVO_USECHANNEL2 + RCSERVO_USECHANNEL3 + RCSERVO_USECHANNEL4 + RCSERVO_USECHANNEL5 + RCSERVO_USECHANNEL6 + RCSERVO_USECHANNEL7 + RCSERVO_USECHANNEL8 + RCSERVO_USECHANNEL9 + RCSERVO_USECHANNEL10 + RCSERVO_USECHANNEL11 + RCSERVO_USECHANNEL12 + RCSERVO_USECHANNEL13 + RCSERVO_USECHANNEL14 + RCSERVO_USECHANNEL15;


   roboio_SetRBVer(110);
    // Initialize PWM interface
   
    if (rcservo_Initialize(usedchannel) == false)
    {
        printf("ERR: fail to initialize RCSERVO (%s)!\n", roboio_GetErrMsg());

      
        return 1;
    }
   
    rcservo_EnterPWMMode();

    rcservo_SendPWMPulses(channel, period, duty, count);

    printf("Start to send %ld PWM pluses with period %ld us\n"
           "and duty %ld us on PWM channel %d.\n\n", count, period, duty, channel);

    while(rcservo_IsPWMCompleted(channel) == false);

    printf("Send %ld PWM pulses completed.\n", count);
    rcservo_Close();
   
   
    return 0;
}


However, I get the error message "I/O library fails to initialize!"

I have tried running the program as administrator, and that did not help.

Thanks in advance for your help.
