- Due to lack of preparation, we will just collect documentation about the parallel port for a few future projects:
- Simple printer emulation, to study the timing and handshaking. Good moment to dust off our logic analyser.
- LCD interface
- Eprom programmer
- Relay board for The Gate
- Add your own :-)
What we have so far[edit]
- A bunch of links to documentation
- A breadboard with LEDs and a DIP switch
- Some code to make it work (Free Pascal FTW)
Talk is cheap. Show me the code !![edit]
