Hi,

 Does anybody know of a routine to synchronously shift bytes out to a pc
lpt port. It sounds pretty easy but I cant seem to make it work. The PC
would request each byte. Below is some sample code in basic that I have
used with a nother chip (ADC0833).

function getbyte (lptport as integer)  using lptport 888 dec
result = 0

for i = 1 to 8
  out(lptport,1)            ' brings an input pin on pic high (say pin 2)
  result = result + inp(lptport+1)  ' read the bit value on pin 10 of the
lpt

        port , this would be the bit val of say an adc read.
                                     ' if 63 value is 0 if 127 value is 1
  result = result *2           ' shift bit values over
next i
getbyte = result
return


The above code is a representation of the actual code, to keep it short.

Does anybody have any ideas.

Thanks
Glen Benson
