ive been wondering on how well the parport would work for a pwm based DAC, i'm interested in getting enough from it to test out and play with my servo amps and motors and encoders... and i'll need to hook up the VFD as well once i get the axis and limit switches and all that fun stuff going, but i

2007-12-17 Thread Kirk Wallace
I would like to build a parallel port DAC board capable of running a VFD. My VFD's use 0 to +10 Volts for setting speed, then a Forward and a Reverse pin which sink to a Common. My plan so far, includes a pair of 74244 buffers, maybe a 7224 8-bit DAC, +10 Volt regulator, +5 Volt regulator and a pai
