Parallelget and Parallelput

[christianity_9]

I am quite fluent with Turing language, but I do not know how to connect a circuit board through the parallel port. I've hooked it all up correctly, but it doesn't recognize the parallelget() function. It thinks it is a variable. Anways, it says that I need a dlportioinstaller.exe file, and that it's in the support folder, but it is not. I tried downloading one of the internet, but that didn't work either. Any help would be great, thanks.

I have worked with this software in Computer Engineering Class 1 & 2 years ago. The problem that your receiving is because the parallel driver that it uses is not installed. So the dlportioinstaller.exe is the actual driver it uses to access your parallelport (yes i know it is annoying). Also ontop of that it is also known as dlportio_install.exe (old version).

basically what it does is install dlportio.sys into Windows\drivers directory and modifies the registry.

there is also more help for it here: http://www.holtsoft.com/turing/support/#parallelport

the installer (dlportio_install.exe) is available in Holts Distribution http://www.holtsoft.com/Turing%204.1.1a.zip
