Remote Control Car

-----------------------------------

Hi,
I am having a little problem with my computer engineering class assignment.
Objective: My objective is to first get a remote control car, and use the remote and connect the (BACK, FORWARD, LEFT-TURN, and RIGHT TURN) and use bread-boards and parallelput to control the car with out the bottons, but commands using turing (DOS VERSION)

here is the program that i have**(which doesnt work :()
________________
var n:int
loop
get n
parallelput (n)
delay (10)
end loop

/*where they put like n=1 so it sends power to parallelput 1 and it is the right turing button wire.
*******************************
I am very new to turing and i do not know how to do it.  Please help me.

*My major problems
-When I connect ALL four wires (which care connected from EACH of the buttons) the car WITH OUT the program goes back wards and turns right.  I have tried using 2 bread-boards, but no such luck.
Please help me, to whom ever knows this.  And please tell me ANYTHING that might help.  
Thx

Your code looks fine and should place a high value on pin 2. The problem with computer engineering is I would have to look at your wiring. I assume other students got it working (machine is set up right.) Looks like a wiring problem.

i put it like 
D0        D1      D2         D3
back     Front   L-Side    R-Side
 
but out  bread-boards are labled 1,2,3,4,5 .... and so on.
I used 2,3,4,5.  Is that OK?
