Hi,
Is it possible to use the AVR s/w emulator on AVRStudio running on a PC and somehow get external control signals (serial or parallel port) that would correspond to signals produced by an actual AVR?
The reason I'm asking is that I have to design a small scale electromechanical elevator model that would be controlled by a microcontroller together with PLC units and the AVR was suggested as a possible condidate. Since a PC would already be in the loop I thought that a micro might be superfluous. There might also be other ways to generate such control signals using a PC with minimal hardware involved.
Any advice/suggestions welcome.
TIA
