Hallo.

Is there is a way to use the lpt. port for electronics in a laboratory in newer Linux distros with kernel 2.6?

It is easy in windows, but it usually costs mony.

I would like to use c++.

Thank you for reading.

Please spell and write clearly.

Yes, there's lots of ways to do it. Google for "linux lpt port control", and you'll find lots of examples. This is one:

Thank you for your tips TBOne. I think I can use Parapin.
But I am not sure if it works on the newest kernels, or
if i can download it from a responsitory for some Linux distro.
(The cap-sys, Linux security system are going be built in-
to the kernel instead of in a module. This may effect
the cap-rawIO controlling the lpt-port)?
I have at least 25 Linuxdistros on three computers with several harddisks
and an ipcop-host, so I can find place to install yet another distro.

Does anyone know anything about these questions?

Thank you for reading.
