I got a LED and touched it to the positive and negative ends of two 1.5v
AA batteries in a serial configuration.
The LED lit up. I then crimped on pins to the end of the LED wires and
again tested it with the batteries. Again, I saw the light.
I plugged said tinned pins into the 2nd and 25th pinout of a 25 pin port
(the parallel port): positive lead to the 2 pin, and negative pin to\
the the 25 pin.
I then executed the following program:
I have written a small program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dev/ppbus/ppi.h>
#include <dev/ppbus/ppbconf.h>
int main()
{
int fd;
while(1)
{
ioctl(fd, PPISDATA, 255);
}
}
I am expecting to see that LED light up, flashing if not creating a solid
light. However, I am not.
any help would be very much appreciated
Sincerely,
David
