Very impressive! I am planning on making one, but I need some examples...could you post a tiny example of the code, or (would be nice) the whole source?

Thanks!!!

I used a very stupid system to do that: i've used decimal counters.. so the code is very

disordered and understandable.. you can just know that to control the parallel port from python you have to do:

import parallel

p=parallel.Parallel()

p.setData(255)

and i hope that you know that you can write only a byte on the parallel port... so 8 bits... i for example used one pin to send the clock to counters and then i send some 0 and 1 until i get the right led on...

Hi! Could you send me please the script?

[supergenius1994]

the software? free

[supergenius1994]

how do you install pyparallel?, I can't figure it out

Hey thanks for answering! I see... but how do you control the time in which the leds stay lit? For example, how can I make a led blink for 2 seconds before outting?

Could'nt you send the code so that I could check it out =)? Please, it would really help me a lot! My email is mig_akira at hotmail com !Thanks again!
