Hi Salvaesswaran Srinivasan, >>Some of my friends are doing their project in microcontrollers, and

Getting the input from computer What do you want the microcontroller to do ? Is there any specific reason that you opted for parallel port over serial. >>I don't have any prior experience interfacing microcontrollers to PCs,so kindly provide pointers to accomplish this task. Arduino is a open source board ( www.arduino.cc ) is a elegant inexpensive device(Rs 700/-) with which we can do wonders.It is a good start for beginners to hang on with this board. The following is a link where the arduino is connect to several piezo transducers and computer . When you hit on a piezo transducer the signal is taken to the computer and a sound is generated. Something drums sivamani will love it ;). This is just a example, have a look at it at http://www.tinker.it/en/Tutorials/Ardrumo . regards, Thyagarajan Shanmugham _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
