Comments on How to control peripheral ports: Accessing and writing on Parallel Port with C on Linux. Part I
This tutorial will show you how to control the pins of the parallel port of your PC on Linux from within a small C program. In this example, we switch just a few LED's on and off, but the same technology can be used to control relays to switch devices with high power consumption on and off for home automation.

Looking to use the 8 data points out of the parrallel port to send data to 8 different robots for programming the robots then letting them run the program. Idea running robots onthe moon from earth to build base of operation for exploration.
