servo+motor+futaba
i play with VSA and i managed to send data to LPT (parallel port) on custom at desire pins and fv.
the software is good , no doubt.
i have already , from my previews experiments, pluged in some LED-s on each pin send data parallel port (from 1-9=8pins to send information). and i test-it with those.
now the real question is:
how can i manage to verify if that com1 is on or off ?
logically will be with a led but appear that baud rate mess up the blinking led.
i just want to see if is some signal send out there physical-real.
....................
i recheck the wire and all is alright. i see when i touch with my finger (or checking aparatus) pin3 the controller change status in blinky leds(red on,green blink) but when(after restart) i insert it in com1 and try to transmit data , no activity.
i remember when i worked with LPT port that i was needed a some sort of driver for open some stuff from windows to manage working with //port.
it's about "UserPort.sys" to have put it by hand in Windows-system32.
otherwise all i send it to LPT port did not worked (i know i try-it with pascal and c++). i suppose for serial is the same problem?
i use XP SP2,and have framework and all drivers updated. i checked the driver for serial itself and it appear ok (device manager), it is installed alright. :-D
i bet thats is the cause. some specific stuff "driver"sh... .
