INDAFINS sources are uploaded to
http://groups.google.com/group/indanotes/web/OCX.zip
I was planning to publish all source codes by releasing beta version. (INDAFINS is still alpha version).
Unfortunately I don't have too much time to upgrade it. So I have decied to publish source codes of alpha version.
And also I was planning to upgrade INDAFINS as INDAFINS.Net for .Net environment after adding several more functionalities:
- Serial port support
- Read / Write I/O and timers, etc.
Please feel free to modify it,but I have several petitions:
- Please do not remove any links and information about indanotes.blogspot.com and this post.
- Please keep existing comments.
- Please add your name to source code as a comment if you modify it, and send to me to publish new versions here. I promise, I will keep your name also in this historical post.

Google rocks! I decided to host the project at google code instead of sourceforge.
You can download the setup files from

Setup file contains the ActiveX and a tester. I am going to publish the source codes soon.

An ActiveX controller 'INDAFINS' for OMRON FINS protocol is going to be published.
This posts address will be a permanent link, I am planning to edit this post on each version release.
It is still in alpha version and supporting only read & write data memories and extended memory banks over ethernet UDP.
I am planning to cover at least %90 of FINS protocol. Also I am planning to give FINS over RS 232 in the same ActiveX, so it should be very easy to change an applications communication method just only chancing one single line in a project.
Unfortunately, there is no documentation yet, I am planning to write a draft document as soon as possible.
However, when you are using this ActiveX, please:
- Use it by your own risk, it is not a commertial product. Just a freeware.
- Never place an emergency stop function on your PC applications, PC devices and communications are not stable, you may not stop the system in case of emergency.
- New warnings about INDAFINS can be added to this blog, it would be better to subscribe to RSS feed of this blog to be get informed.
I was planing to publish this ActiveX controller as an open source project in www.sourceforge.net, however I need to study more on CVS to publish on SourceForge.
I am going to find a reliable download host other than rapidshare, I would be glad if someone can offer me a good link.
