Hello All,
I need to have a setup / circuit for DC motor interfacing with LPT (parallell) port and control it thru my program. I have almost all the basic
knowledge of LED interfacing with parallel and serial port.
But, in case of motor, i know that we should have some circuit between motor and port interface that will amplify the port ouput to provide suitable
current for motor. Now, how can I make that circuit (e.g. amplifier) and what should should be the correct pin configuration to make it possible..... i need to know all these things.
Please must mention the exact components and their details too. Note that I am talking about simple dc motor used in toys (i.e. remote control or battery operated cars), its not a stepper motor or anything like that.
I need some serious solutions as I will extend this project to control the direction of revolution of motor and speed thru my program. But this is a
future intention, right now I am concentrating to design the circuit for amplification of current for my motor. I hope someone out there will help me.
I am a new bee in electronics stuff, so please if someone of you send a basic circuit diagram, it will help me alot.
Will wait for your responses.
