Re: Potentiometer on Parallel Port?
 

Thanks for all the help guys. It's working for the most part now. I hooked up the two pots to seperate 5v pins and it seems to work pretty well. I still get that disconnection error sometimes, but I probably just soldered a join badly or something...

Thanks again :)

Re: Potentiometer on Parallel Port?
 

how would one get power for the IFI USB Chicklet. would i have to use a 7.2v back up battery and modify it so that the 2.1 mm female power jack is connected to the backup battery??

Give ya a hint:
1. grab an ADC chip which can output 8 bits
2. Wire it so that it will go into continuous conversion
3. Wire up the input to your pot, 8 bit outputs to ur parallel port
4. And you're done :D
