Structure of a parallel port

In here I basically focused on using the parallel port to output data. For that I used Data outputs in the port. We can output a maximum of 8 bit data using a 25 pin parallel port.

Microcontroller programming for beginners with 16f84a

Anyone interest in electronics they would like to know about MCU s. These days new technology goes long distance away from PIC. But major thing is MCUs still use for many electronic components. With basic knowledge of programming and about electronics anyone make big projects with MCU s. Using PIC ICs can make small LED circuit and also can make complex robots.

We will consider about the major requirements. First thing is we have to choose suitable PIC ic . If we have enough knowledge to use PIC IC s then we should select suitable IC for our project or circuit. For an example we will think we are going to make DC motor control circuit then we should choose PIC IC s with have PWM facility. If you can’t understand about this PWM or what ever the things I finally mentioned don’t worry about that because I will give brief introduction from my continuous posts.
