Parallel port interface

May 21, 2005 3 Replies

I have an old parallel printer and would like to interface with the parallel port using Qbasic. Goal is to use the circuit and control the two printer motors, some relays etc. Info/assistance re the above is needed Regards Rick


Paul Bergsman's "Controlling the World With Your PC" has stepper motors, relays, LEDs, LCD, etc. ISBN 1-878707-15-9. It comes with a 3 1/2" floppy disk that has source code for controlling the printer port in QBASIC, Pascal and C on it.
