[sagarpadwal]

Hello,

I am developing a VB application with Visual studio 2008.

I have a problem with the library "PCANBasic.dll". I can't add this library to the vb project as reference because vb.net reports an error. The error says that the library is not a valid COM.

After that i tried to find solution on your forum and followed solution mentioned in

but still not working. when i try to run the code of PCANBasic Example it giving error as "Unable to find the library PCANBasic.dll"

reply ASAP.

Hi,

please select PCAN_PCIBUS1 0x41 as handle for channel1, hardwaretype is not necessary for PCI cards, please read info in the PCANBasic help file (PCANBasic_enu.chm) for more deatils.

BTW: this has nothing to do with PCAN-View, so it will be better to move that thread into the PCANBasic API section.

Hi,
I have attached the snapshot of application where no option in the dropdown list as 'PCAN_PCIBUS1 0x41' as handle for channel1.

I have developed vb application with other CAN hardware but as now with current requirement i want to use that application with this current hardware i mentioned in previous message.
so i have to change the communication level interface of that application , so that it will work with the PCAN PCI-e card as well.

i want to check that how this PCAN Basic sample example works.

I want to send and receive CAN messages with this PCAN Basic sample application so that i can implement the similar changes in my current application code.

Hi,

is the PCAN-PCI card correctly installed on your system? Do you have any other software running which uses that card at the moment. Does PCAN-View show the card?

HI,

Yes, the PCI card installed correctly on PC.
And i checked it through the PCAN view ,it shows both the channels and i also checked it with transmitting and receiving messages.

Hi,

Please download the Sysinfo tool from the following link:

http://www.peak-system.com/fileadmin/me ... ysInfo.zip

unzip it and start the *.exe (no istallation required), then make a system analysis (don´t use the quick-analysis functionality) and save the result into a XML file. Please sent the XML file to us by email (use the support email address).

Hi

I am using the PCAN-USB Pro hardware, and when running the PCAN-Basic Example I'm getting a similar problem.

1. When I run the application, a compile error in line 990 appears and it does not compile.
2. I commented lines 989 to 991, and now I am able to compile.
3. After compiling, I get an error message “Unable to find the DLL PCANBasic.dll!”
4. Once the application is open, I can not find the PCAN_USBBUS1 hardware.

How did you solved this issue?
