No problem Mike.

Ok.here we go.I've uploaded the program to the ftp server
(Falcon2_4.zip).  The installation instructions are fairly simple.put
the vbio.dll file into the \windows\system directory, click on the
Falcon2_4.exe program to run. I've also included an excel spreadsheet
that lists which lights are on which pins.  Questions are welcome

Rob

Thanks Rob, I may ask your help on this as I move forward, no heavy
bugging though :)

Rob,
no idea how to code, maybe I will have to learn some if I must, do you
already have a program written to for the w/ 5451 to interface w/
Falcon? 

Thanks

Ok folks.I've uploaded (circuit.jpg) the circuit diagram for the 5451
LED driver to the ftp site.  In a single chip configuration, the chip
connects to pins 2,3 and 18 of the parallel printer port.  As always,
please be careful in working with ports on your PC.  If anyone needs
help with the code portion, I can only help if you're interested in VB.
Also, my code requires the use of a 3rd party driver called VBIO (it's
free, and I believe I have a copy somewhere as well).  When I last
played with the code, I was running a Win98SE PC, so I haven't tested on
any other OS.

Rob
