Shouldn't the fact that the signal is in a while loop keep the 5 volt
signal going? Isn't the parallel port being blasted with the
value 255 over and over again?
The serial port will not fulfill what i am ultimately trying to achive. I
am trying to have the parallel port to control 8 relays each turing
on/off based upon which bit i send out to the port.
