C++ help with the BS2
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
I am familiar with C++ and i want to interface the computer with the BS2 via
parallel port. i know it is possible to write bits to the parallel port and
have the stamp interpret it as a high and low signal. the only thing though
is that i dont know how to access the parallel port. what instruction. also
is anyone familiar with the Game counter strike? the reason for this
adventure is that i want to create a rumble vest. if i could get the game to
output to the parallel port i can get the stamp to trigger a vibrating motor
as if i was in the game. i already emailed Valve the creators of the game
and they dont want to talk to me. any help would be appreciated. thanks

He wrote a book on the Printer port...I've done some of the projects...Most of
his code is C So if you could get CS to send commands to your exe...then you
could skip the stamp and just use the 8 data lines for your vest. They are TTL
so you can't run the relays directly from them...well...unless you get Solid
State ones [noparse]:)[/noparse]
I'd look to the Mod community....Valve won't work with you like the people who
modify games will.
I'd think if you could get say a separate audio channel going with different
length tones for each spot you where hit you could have the Stamp monitor that
output and skip the LPT port and EXE all together. Once again....the Mod
community would be your best bet....
As a side note....knowing where you got shot would be very cool!!!
Good luck with your project....if you need help on the PC side I have the
examples that Anderson's book comes with [noparse]:)[/noparse]
