bit of a longer post, but still struggling with getting the binding to appear in OH2..
I’m trying to get the velleman k8055 IO board working with OH2. The original documentation and links to the .jar file no longer work, so what i’ve done has been cobbled together from a number of different searches / sources of info..
So, after the advice above (thanks), I still couldn’t get the velleman k8055 board working in OH2, however the linux command k8055 to test connectivity to the board worked fine.. So i decided to start fresh to retrace and document my steps..
New sdcard in the PI 3 model b. new OH2 pre-built image installed and configured as below

not sure if it’s related, but the samba config and OH wiki shows the install location as /opt/openhab2/ but there isn’t anything installed here. not sure if this needs re-pointing or doesn’t matter?
links used but may need updating?
openHAB on Linux | openHAB - /opt/openhab2/ wrong location?
[SOLVED] Velleman k8055 USB IO Board Binding Openhab 2.3 - cloudbees site inaccessible for me.. had documentation and .jar binding
