Post by thread:Parallel port read/write source code for NT to pro

I want to write some code to program PICs via PC's parallel port on an NT machine. Is there any SOURCE code for Windows-NT to access parallel port for read/write ?

I'm currently doing almost the same on Windows NT 4.0 You MUST download the Device Driver kit for Windows NT 4.0 and download the platform SDK. Check out http://www.msdn.microsoft.com In the ddk you will find lot and lot of code samples, even you parallel port you want. Be warned that it's not simple to write a device driver for NT. But if you have written C code before on NT it shouldn't be a real problem. Also you should know that debugging a Ring 0 driver is done by two computer running Window NT connected over a serial line. For some parallel port information check out: http://www.lvr.com/parport.htm Somehwere on the page you find link's to a parallel port device driver ready to use and accesable from within your app. But if you need performance, you should write your own driver. Ries

You do not need to use the Microsoft DDK to write a device driver. There is a generic driver available on the net to access the hardware from win95 or NT. I do not know how well it would work for a simple PIC programmer.

Try to use the TVICHWIN40, for Delphi...Works in NT too!

If you look on my website you can download a DLL to do this, I use it in my 32 bit programmer software. I didn't write it, and you can either download it from my site, or from a link to the original site. The archived .EXE file includes examples for using it in C and Visual Basic. -- Nigel. /--------------------------------------------------------------\ | Nigel Goodwin | Internet : nigelgspam_OUTlpilsley.co.uk | | Lower Pilsley | Web Page : http://www.lpilsley.co.uk | | Chesterfield | Official site for Shin Ki and New Spirit | | England | Ju Jitsu | \--------------------------------------------------------------/
