Hi everyone ,,

I was looking for some ideas for ' projects interfaced with pc using parallel port '

and someone suggested the IR trasmitter/ receiver , but I don't know what ideas I can try

so can you help me to find a simple project about it OR suggest any other ideas about the parallel port ?


thank u


jan,

Its difficult to suggest something, when we don't know what you have in mind... We don't know your skills... I have a virtual crane on my parallel port.... There is a great book PC interfacing

https://www.google.co.uk/products/c...a=X&ei=ndZ2UPDsNOXK0AXe34CQBw&ved=0CHMQ8wIwBQ

It does serial ports game ports AND parallel ports. Worth every penny of the £16....

hi,
You could modify the source code in this link.

Hi,

I found this.

8-bit analog to digital conversion
http://www.adwiens.com/projects/electronics/10/index.html

You may also try searching for voltmeters interfaced using parallel ports.
I think it would have the same concept of having an analog to digital converter.

Beyond logic still has parallel port info and examples.

Click to expand...

Can you say a little bit more about the crane part of it, Ian? Truly interested

We make mobile crane indicators.... To test our gear, I can't afford to buy or rent these things... I made a virtual lattice boom crane... telescopic crane... excavator... fork truck etc... they USED to connect to my parallel port... I have since upgraded to USB.

I have joysticks.. switches etc.. on a panel that replicate all the vehicles movements so we can test or software.. They are pic based. We have also now got "PC" virtual vehicles in 3D so we can see whats going on... We can run PC to PC or sim to sim... and sim to real or PC to real..

have u tried something about IR transmitter/ receiver interface with LCD using the parallel port !
that whenever there is a cut or an object disturbing the transmission between these transmitter and receiver sensors, LCD should show message according to the situation of these sensors

this is my first time doing this kind of projects and till know I didn't find something clear to me

The easiest project would be an 8 bit ADC connected to the port... And a program on the PC in C# or VB to display voltages.

Get an ADC with a parallel bus and a driver chip and hey presto..
