MPG question

Hi guys,

I have a question regarding the mpg.

I really liked this:

The question I have is this.

as everyone knows, LOL

I have a kit 5i25, 7i77 and 7i64

but I have only one PCI slot, which is hosted the 5i25.

mpg as I can connect to my machine? I need another board?


Thanks.

Well looks like that runs on a parallel port so if the PC has a parallel port it should be usable.

The other option is to use the second 5I25 port as GPIO (This needs a header/DB25 adapter cable).
This would require setting up a base thread to read the MPG dial

Yet another option would be to use 7I77 I/O pins and a spare 7I77 encoder to interface to a generic MPG dial and switches

how I can do this? some examples? thanks peter.

Some notes I wrote down back in 2006

You will need to be a bit familiar with HAL to make use of my notes - going through the tutorials in the manual is one way to learn.

You have an amazing web ... great work congratulations. I will study to see if I can do this. but my knowledge of HAL level is very low. but I'm studying.

thanks.

Peter:

this would not be compatible with my kits?

Thanks.
