ParralelPut Help

[umaza]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
I need to make a 4-way instersection and need four spotlights by using LEDS through a parralelport using turing

What is the problem you are having?
I can't get both reds to stay on, then turn one red off and keep the other on.

Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
I tried parallelput (0) but that turns both red off

Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)

(Can't get only one to turn off)

You need to pick the pins that you want to be on, then calculate the number that corresponds to that particular configuration of pins. That is, all of the changes will execute in a single statement of parallelput(state_value)

See parallelput for details.
