Hello guys,
As usual searching for something for character LCD menu system generator - found one old windows base software which can control the LCD and other things using Parallel Port.
I guess most of us now don't use the parallel port - but I still have old desktop which have parallel port and some time I use that to quickly test some ICs, Stepper motors, LCDs grabbed from scrap...
So if you also have interest - you can look for this small free goody... where it explains how to connect LCD to parallel port and even explains step by step on how to operate it using state machine diagrams...
