Hello,
I want to create a small project which will display scrolling text on
LED that will be attached to Parallel port. I want to create this
project in C language(possibly in Mingw) on Windows XP. I want to know
how can i access(read and write data) on parallel port in XP.
You'll probably get a poor response here. This group concentrates on
the C programming language in general, not how it can do something
with a specific platform (hardware, O/S).
Entering '"Windows XP" "Parallel Port" read write' (with the "
characters but not the ' characters) into Google seemed productive for
me.
I have a program that do the same thing but in its documentation it
says that it will not work on Windows XP.
Shame...
I want to create a GUI for this project in which we can enter the
desired Text to display on LED and Scrolling Speed.
Good luck. But don't ask about GUIs here...
Is this possible to create this Project in C?
Yes, but you'll need to do things beyond the standard "portable" C
that is discussed here.
Follow the pointers above to search via Google, and if you need more
help go to one of the Windows programming newsgroups, I'd suggest.
