can anyone help me how to use and configure port expander using shift register..??


I will say thank you so much, for the information

wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Shift_Register_Port_Expander

But in reality you would probably be better off using extra PCI parport cards or an I/O car such as Mesa if you need a lot more IO

regards

thank you..

but i want to use more input, not the output..

any suggestion..?? because PCI in my country is so expensive

My link answers your original query as to how to configure and use a shift register port expander.

Why don't you buy PCI cards from a foriegn seller on ebay who will ship to Indonesia?
The Moschip based cards are usually peanuts $5 - $10, just make sure you get one based on a later chip (9845 or greater)
