We have this project on an object tracking robot. It uses an onboard webcam to take images, which are sent to a computer and processed in Matlab to identify the target position and the computer generates the control signals for the movement of the robot.
The problem is that there is no parallel port in our laptop. So we are thinking of sending the data to the usb port and then somehow making it parallel data. When i googled "usb to parallel", i could see that many usb to parallel port converters are available. Id like to know if we can use those converters? Or is there a simpler method to convert the serial data from usb to parallel?
Thanks
