This kind of control is very useful for +electronics projects that use the PC's parallel port as a generic digital I/O interface. Parapin goes to great lengths to insulate the programmer +from the somewhat complex parallel port programming interface provided by the PC hardware, making it easy to use the parallel port for digital +I/O. By the same token, this abstraction also makes Parapin less useful in applications that need to actually use the parallel port as a parallel +port (e.g., for talking to a printer). +</longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
