This is the basic interface I used as part of my Computerized Room project. This is the parallel interface only. The 8 bit input card can be found, along with the rest of the project, at Computerize Your Room/House. This interface, as well as the other two interfaces, came from the book "The Robot Builders Bonanza", by Gordan McComb. This interface is also useful for controlling small robots, etc. It is cheap and fairly easy to build, although you should not attempt this project unless you have prior experience with electronics. You probably won't damage anything if you hook it up wrong, but there is always a chance (some parallel ports are better protected then others). If possible, test the project on someone else's, or a school computer :-) |

| Dear Sir, I just wanted to drop a note to thank you for inspiring me to delve into the world of "real world control with a pc". I built the parallel port interface (not a single problem)and my first experiment was to build an infared through beam alarm. I then used it to control a 2x40 LCD display. Being just a hobbyist and very new to electronics, I greatly appreciate all the hard work it takes from folks like you to share thier ideas with us. All of my training has come from internet searches and a ton of reading. For the moment I have been writing all the source code in QB but I've begun to learn Euphoria and C++. Who knows what the future brings? Again Thank You for an excellent site. John | ||
