LED Blinker

i was wondering if anyone could write a program that would blink 9 pairs of LEDs through a printer port using the sound in winamp???

if nobody will. will someone tell me where i can find tutorials so i could learn???

google "parallel port programming"
once you see what you are getting into, you will probably forget about it.
but, it is an IEEE standard, so you can always read the technical whitepapers. as if.

i have never done anything like that on windows, mainly because it is such a pain in the arse to do anything that low level in windows, especially with the ports. i am not sure if you can even do that kind of stuff in xp without clever tricks. i have no experience with writing device drivers. in linux it is infinitely easier to read and write to devices since they are treated as files/buffers.

after you have the basics of port programming down, i guess you could write a plugin for winamp or something that would basically give you the oscilliscope information from which you could parse whatever it is you are trying to do. you would have to frequent the winamp forums to learn to do that.

the question is, how badly do you want to do this?

Try taking a look at bit tech. They might have something. If not, the forums are fairly good. http://www.bit-tech.net/

where would it be on that site???
