I am going to start to design a simple serial EEPROM programmer for LPT port. Due that i have never design anything with LPT port i need a few tips.. 1. Is there pins on LPT port that can be on same Input and Output (not only I or O) 2. So, is better to use LPT port and a mass of logic devices (aka 74HC....) or use COM port and some uC device to setup IO lines 3. Or, best variant maybe to use LPT port with a few uC and then to get a full 40 pin universal programmer :| What is best choice to use? THANKS! p.s. Didnt i say "simple design" :) --------------E8C95FDDE1412E389E65F950 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=koi8-r; name="mpavlica.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for Milan Pavlica YU7XW Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="mpavlica.vcf" begin:vcard n:Pavlica;Milan x-mozilla-html:FALSE org:SuperSonic Systems adr:;;;;;; version:2.1 email;internet:mpavlica@ptt.yu title:Chief fn:Milan Pavlica end:vcard --------------E8C95FDDE1412E389E65F950-- -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
