Initial Hardware Communication Via USB

Hi, I'm hoping to control a motor with MATLAB via USB. The manufacturer has provided a DLL but I'm really not sure where to go from there. Any help would be appreciated, I'm banging my head on this one.

You probably need to loadlibrary(). Anything beyond that is going to depend upon the application interface that the manufacturer provided, which you would need documentation for.

The manufacturer got back to me this morning and indeed, loadlibrary() is the very first step.

While I've got your attention: Initial communication is working in 32bit, however in 64bit, loadlibrary() returns an error. The error is below. Please note that I have a separate DLL for x64.

Any ideas? I did install a compiler of some sort I'm pretty sure

I re-installed MS compiler, works.
