SPI on PCs parallel port
Hi I have Visual C++ 6.0, but have only wrote some simple code
examples from a beginner's book.
I would like to read an SPI device but using my PCs Parallel port.
I just need to send out an 8-bit word and simultaneously read back in
an 8-bit word.
I can simply repeat for multiple words.
It can be as simple as a window that I can enter the hex or binary (or
decimal) number to be sent out and another window for the returned
data.
Then just a button to start the transfer.
Does anyone have something like this?
Or do they know of anything similar?
I have searched the web and the closest that I could find was very
complex and difficult for a beginner to modify. 3 3050

Controlling hardware (reading the parallel port is included) is not
defined in C++ language. You need to post your question to a newsgroup
for your OS or your compiler, since that functionality is OS-specific
and libraries are probably compiler-specific as well.
V
os = windows 98 or xp
compiles = Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
I looked for a better newsgroop but domt see a spacific one.
Do you have a group recomendation?

I have several recommendations , of which the first one is not to top-post.
There are several newsgroups I consider relevant. Let's begin with
microsoft.publi c.vc.language, that's for the compiler-specific stuff.
Next, comp.os.ms-windows.program mer.win32, that's for OS-specific. Also,
take a look at http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/, which is the
de-facto FAQ for this newsgroup, it should help you find your answers
without posting (and waiting associated with it).
If your newsserver does not carry microsoft.publi c.* hierarchy, connect
to 'msnews.microso ft.com', it's free, and look around there.

Hi All
I want to use my parallel port of my PC to control some external devices. I
am writing a program in ANSI C using the PacificC compiler. What I need to
know is how to access the parallel port ie to send data and to read the
state of the parallel port including the control lines. Can anyone
help/point me in the correct direction? I have tried the help files and the
internet but am unable to find anything relevant.
Thanks in...

I would like to know how one can use the parallel port through
c/c++.Also, how does one determine what port is
installed(EPP/ECP/SSP/PS2)?
What is the differnece between these?
What are the current sinking/drawing capacities of these ports?
If possible, please give examples in C/C++.
Thanks
I would be grateful if any ebooks/tutorials could be provided at

i've been trying to send an 8 byte string to my parallel port under

the board simply responds to the output byte coming from the port. eg.

todate i've attempted this with merely open() on /dev/ppi0 and numpy for
the byte array, but i just can't seem to get it working.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
