If you use an MCU, you can emulate the whole parallel port if you like, but you must develop the hardware and firmware for it (and drivers on top of it). Posted in computer hacks Tagged bit bang, bit banging, parallel port, printer port, rs232, serial port, usb converter Post navigation See the project in action in the clip after the break. By alternating the data transmitted from the computer between the bit-bang values sent to LP0 and 0xF0 sent to the serial connector the eight parallel data bits become fully addressable. That’s where the serial connection comes into play. Thyristors are bistable switches so this solution alone will never clear the busy pin. The strobe pin on the parallel port drives an inverter which triggers a thyristor connected to the busy pin. Instead the USB to RS232 (serial) converter also pictured above is used as a reset signal. All you need to do is program the chip to emulate the printer’s end of the communications scheme. Sure, adding a microcontroller would make this dead simple. It borrows from the way printers communicate to allow USB to parallel port bit banging without a microcontroller (dead link, try Internet Archive). But here’s a solution that will change your thinking. The StarTech.If you’ve ever looked into low-level parallel port access you may have learned that it only works with actual parallel port hardware, and not with USB parallel port adapters. These adapters plug into the serial and parallel ports of a computer, allowing the looping of the data and signal path by joining the transmit and receive pins together.

Simple to install and use, the serial/parallel USB adapter is a cost-effective solution that bridges the connectivity gap between modern computers and legacy serial peripherals.īacked by a 3-year warranty and free lifetime technical support. Quickest and most effective way to verify that your Serial (RS232) and Parallel ports are working correctly. The ICUSB2321284 1S1P USB to Serial/Parallel Adapter Cable enables you to connect DB9 RS232 serial devices and IEEE 1284 parallel devices to your PC or Linux laptop or desktop computer, through a single USB port, as though the computer offered onboard connectors.Īn innovative solution, the adapter cable features both a parallel and serial port that can be used simultaneously, delivering serial and parallel data rates of up to 921.6 Kbps and 1Mbps (respectively) to ensure optimum performance from your connected devices.
