[DUG] LPT Porgramming

[Jeremy Coulter]

There are a number of controls out there that will work under XP. I THINK
the one I used to use was call TVicPort or maybe just VicPort and it had a
Delphi interface. There was another one too who's name I cant think of, but
if you have done so already, have a look on www.torry.net.

For XP they wrote a device driver I seem to recall because as you have
pointed out, the direct hardware connection was removed in XP.

I have quite a number of cordless tools and two way radios. I want to use
the parallel port to control my hardware to make a battery reconditioner.
NiCd and NiMh. 

 

I'm looking for an easy programming solution. 

 

Should I stick to Windows98 and have direct access to LPT1:

or XP and add in the required patches?

 

I'm using Delphi 4

 

Cheers Wallace.
