Hey guys... remember me? I was here for a while and left again? Anyway this is kinda of an Hardware question for any HW experts out there.
This year(final year) of my technical education we have make a big project to show. So me and my group members decided that we make kind of an interfaced thing between a computer and a external computer. So what we're planning to do is make a car (simple box with 4 wheels) and some how get it interfaced with a computer. How is that possible?
Like if your press the up arrow the car will go up, if you press down it will go down and left and right. You get the point...
One of my friends told me that one guy some how interfaced a few LEDs to the printer port and made them glow by pressing keys or something. One guy in another forum told me to do it through the serial ports (which I know nothing about).
Any one hear know anything of this?
We've studied the basic micro controllers (8155, 8255, 8279, etc) so I have a little know how of how interrupts and such work.
Any idea any one?
