|  Connection-boards? electronic-connection-boards, to connect electrodes and stuff to the LPT-port. Does someone know what these things are called, and where you can get them? I'm planning to connect a button to it from the kitchen, so that my mum can push on it when the food is on the table! :-)

| Easier option, wire up a small circuit with a light, put a push switch on it and a flashing led! Then the LED can go on your monitor and it'll attract your attention. Add a small speaker and stuff aswell if you want sound. Not very expensive.

| Her next present to you. A big gong or bell that she can ring.

| You don't need a board! You don't need a board to connect a switch. Just a cable! (Although, some static-shock protection would be a good idea.)You can find some info about programming the ports at www.beyondlogic.org and a shipload of info about the hardware at www.epanorama.net If you're using WinXP, Win2K, or Win NT, you have to use a kernel mode driver to access the hardware ports. You're OK with Win98. Last edited by DougDbug; 02-11-2003 at 01:49 PM. |
