i need some assistance to enable interfacing the Standard parallel port on windows xp.
am working an a PC based Oscilloscope project using the parallel port but it isn't working.
i tried the inpout32.dll method but it uses C++.
So am obliged either to shift the program into C++ OR to use another method in C language
Don't use all these things
Do the following
if any doubt mail me
here is the way to interface in C language http://www.embeddedtronics.com:80/public/Electronics/minidaq/userport/UserPort.zip
download this file and unzip it
then copy Userport.sys to WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS
then run USERPORT.EXE
u will get a message driver started
Now u do programming in C/C++/JAVA and interface in XP or other version of
Windows.
If you are not getting Userport.zip from this link search in google for it.
Another good site for getting it http://www.geocities.com/Juanga69/parport/
