Title: software for programming the parallel port
Post by: Marcel21674 on October 30, 2012, 04:38:13 PM

Is there any PLC like software for the amiga. I have a little plan of using the parallel port for technic lego.

Bit-bang the port in assembly?  I've done this before with success.

You can bit bang the parallel port in any of the Popular Amiga languages :) even AMOS allows you to write directly to an address!

You can do it with AREXX - HW ARexx (http://aminet.net/util/rexx/HW-ARexx-Hack.lha),

I'll try that.
Try'd to use T.U.R.D, but it seems to miss a lot files when starting up.
