Re: Push Button System

Hey,

We are trying to make a scoring system. So we will have approximately 10 buttons. We want to have when button A is pressed add 1 point, when button B add 3 points, etc. We then want to have the total variable somehow go into the computer so we can display the score.
Someone just gave me the idea of using the LPT (printer port) and have a button for each wire and use visual basic to due the reading. But I'm rather new to programming and would appreciate any help.

Thanks!

I'll be sure to post results and probably a white paper so everyone else can use the same system if they like it.
