Title: Parallel Port 2 Pin Status
Post by: sharbold on October 12, 2009, 12:05:56 AM

Are there OEM LED codes for monitoring the pin status of a second parallel port? Where might I find the codes? I would like to add a parallel port 2 pin status to a diagnostics screen like the one that exists presently for port1

Thanks
Sam

I too would like to know this, but here is what I did to get around it.

When you assign a particular pin to an output or input in Ports and Pins, you can use the macropump to evaluate the IsOutputActive() or IsActive() and then SetUserLED() accordingly.

Here is a sample from my macropump...

'Spare output 7
If IsOutputActive(Output7) Then
   SetUserLED(1000,1)
Else
   SetUserLED(1000,0)   
End If
