Setting pins of the LPT port high and low with girder...

[cyberwouter]

How can i set my LPT pins high and low with girder? I know it must work with lua, but how? :roll:

I haven't tried this but I have seen ActiveX controls that allow you to control the parallel port. I would search google for a control and then try using that with lua. See that above sticky on how to use luacom and activex. AFAIK, there is no plugin to do this. You will need Girder 3.3.0.

Nobody an idea?

This is about all the spoon feeding you will get :)

Download this ActiveX control http://www.jspayne.com/io/home.html

or this one http://www.shareup.net/Development/ActiveX/PPCtrl-Parellel-Port-I-O-Control-review-9556.html

There are many other available. You will need to learn lua and luacom.

Mike3Hmm, I had about a year ago a simple LUA code to control the datapins, but due a system crash is lost it :cry: .

Using a plugin? I don't remember ever seeing a lua plugin to do parallel operations.... Would be nice though ;)

[cyberwouter]

Ok, but what plugin do I need? And what code do i need to set, for examample, pin1 high?

Doesn't the LUAPortIO Plugin (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/girderplugins/LUAPortIO1.0.1.zip) do this?

(referencing this thread (http://www.girder.nl/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3465&highlight=paralell+parallel+plugin))

I'm looking to do some parallel port relay stuff in the coming months, hopefully with this device (http://electronickits.com/kit/complete/elec/ck1601.htm), so I'd love to know if I'm misinterpreting. Thanks.

Bueller?

@Cyberwouter, does this do what you want?

@Mike C, am I missing something? Will this plugin allow me to do parallel operations to control the relay I linked?

[Promixis]

Opps, I have never noticed that plugin :)

Give it a shot.. sounds like it will work.
