I have recently been writing a MS Visual Basic program which controls a stepper motor via the PC parallel port. I now want to convert this and try the same thing in Linux. What I need to know is how do you control the individual data lines of the printer port under the Linux OS. Hopefully Linux is easier than Windows XP! Also is there a Linux equivalent of visual basic that I can use?<br /> <br /> Edward <img src="images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt="Rolling Eyes" border="0" /> http://linuxformat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=8081#8081 eddie2000 Tue Sep 06, 2005 1:31 pm http://linuxformat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=8081#8081
