Hi .. Can anyone let me know about parallel port programming using Silabs C8051F340/1/2 etc..I want to make an application for printing using parallel port. Any references is appreciated.
Thanx
Are you already familiar with the parallel port itself?
Yes
Are you already familiar with the Silabs C8051F340/1/2 etc?
I am familiar with Silabs C8051F020.
Are you already familiar with 8051 development in general?
Yeah.
Please Let me know one more thing...
I want to connect A parallel port, USB Port and Keyboard (PS/2 or USB interface) to C8051F020, which protocol (e.g SPI,I2C etc) will be needed to interface these? I know C8051F340/1/2 etc has inbuilt USB, but still want to use C8051F020.
So you are already familiar with all the elements - then what additional information do you require?
"one more thing... USB Port "
Device, Host, or On-The-GO (OTG)?
"Keyboard (PS/2 or USB interface) "
The PS/2 protocol is well-documented - you should easily be able to find 8051 examples;
For USB, you would require a USB Host...
Thanks. I was looking for interfacing for USB and Parallel port together.
Can I use any ATMEL/AVR Microcontroller, that has following interfaces: 1) Two Serial RS232 port 2) one USB Port 3) One PS/2 Keyboard interface 4) One Parallel port interface for Printing data.
Thanks
"Can I use... 2) one USB Port"
Do you understand the difference between a USB Host (or "master") port, and a USB Device (or "slave") port?
Without that understanding, you won't get far using anything...
