What:

I'm busy with creating a script that can control your lpt1 port. So if you make your own circuit (described below) then you can control almost everything from wlm (your computer or somewhere else on earth).

Here it goes, first of all, here a picture from your lpt1 port:




The pins for data are: 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

The pin for the mass: 18

Just remeber this for a while....i'm sure you can

Here the circuit you need to make your own:



You need to make this circuit 8 times (for 8 different pins). The leds on the circuit are on when the circuit is open and off when the circuit is closed...(you'll know)

+ You connect the data line with the data pins (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)
+ You connect the - with mass (each time)
+ You put the + and - from the circuit between an excisiting circuit (let's call it 2) so that circuit2 will be closed when the led is on and the data port is on.

With my script: WLM RControl you can control your lpt1 port (later perhaps more then one, but let's start with one)...


You need to buy:

R1 = 8 x 4,7 kohm
R2 = 8 x 1 kohm
D1 = 8 x LED
T1 = 8 x BC 547B
SUB-D connector male 25-polig

Costs:

about € 3,50

So you pay € 3,50 for full remote control, that's nothing


Why:

If you made everything correct then you can remote control 8 different things from everywhere in the world (where they have wlm or msn).

I'm also looking at the possibility to make it work through sms with wlm, so it you recieve a sms message like 'turnon1' it will turn on pin 1


When:

The script is already working by calling a dll, but i'm waiting to make a descent config window (sorry, i wan't it to be perfect )... So as soon as i have a config window i will release version 1..


Where:

Just check this thread.....

Great!!
Will it be able to control a Webcam  and start sending it through WLM

haha, nice idea,

but i think you'll better make a program (or use one ) to start sending on recieving a certain message, perhaps a nice idea...

But if you mean by controlling it in a way to move it then yes, it could be done..

hardcore hardware hacks and scripts now [>_<] \m/ rock on with the true hackers

GREAT!!  CANT WAIT TILL IT GETS OUT

but one question,  i realy don't understand that circuit...
say, for example, i want to turn on and off my radio..   so i connect a relay to pins 5 and 18,   and of course to my radio...
so when i turn on pin 5,  it should turn on my radio,  right?

or am i missing something...?

Hey Themuzz,   any progress?           I'm really looking forward to this LPT1 controller....

just let us know if you're still on it or just dropped it...

That sounds like a great script!
Would be great to have it.

Hi, the programming is done, it works like a charm

But as lazy as i am i'm waiting for the release of script studio so i can design a config window, else you have type a lot of code yourself....

Perhaps you guys can give me some features i also should code, just make a list.

Greetz Themuzz

ps, i'm not gonna drop it and if someone has found a program to easily design the config window please post it also here and i'll respond...

OK, probably you've already seen this,  but I'll post it anyways...      here's something to help you make the config window

i hope this helps you...      
we are all looking forward to this release,  even if its beta   

any interest in something like this
Link to movie

its a scrolling message on the lpt port through a led matrix
anything can be shown fun if ur sitting far away on the comp
