hi guys!
I am an electronics newbie and I would like to interface my PC parallel port to:
1. An electric lock(to open and close a door)
2.An alarm circuit
3. A sensor.
I will write a program in C++ so that one enters his password.If password is correct, I will send some signal to the parallel port to open the door of a cabinet which has files, one picks a file and the sensor detects that a file is taken and sends message to t he PC..
For wrong password, an alarm sounds.
Help me with schematics of such interfacing and any explanations.
Thanks,
Walton.
