Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: parallel port

Yeah, I hooked up a printer to this right after I posted my last email...
The printer works great.

Which leads into my next question sorta dealing with XP, how can I toggle a
pin high or low logic?
I have about 6 programs that are suppose to do it.. but I cannot get the
pins voltage to change either way

any help would be great!

thanks-Lee'
