This Component is a very simple Input/Output module for the PC parallel port. The schematics is simple because the parallel port is already good for I/O because it have 5 pins for input & 12 for output. The project that you can see here is only 4x8 because the module is for the Stereo MP3 project.
Here is a list of components that you need :


       - 4 Resistor 10K Ohm
       -
1 ULN2803A Module
       -
1 Base with holes 
       -
4 Light Emitter Diode
       -
4 Relays of 6 Volts
       - 4 "Socket" for the external connections

 


                                      

The others 4 output port are unused, you can drive also it if you need it.

 

This is the electric schematics :

                      

For the output leds, you must connect it to the +5 volts and with the corrects pins like the pictures below :

                            

The Scheme of ULN2803A is this :

         

                                 
                                                    
- I/O CONTROLS -

Parallel Pins :

    - N° 8 Pins of OUTPUT at the DATA Address
    - N° 4 Pin of OUTPUT at the CONTROL Address (3 is inverted)
   
- N° 5 Pin of INPUT at the STATUS Address (1 inverted)
    - N° 8 Pin of GROUND

NOTA :
The Black Pins is an inverted logics

This is the TURBO PASCAL Code of driving the module :

Program I-O;
uses CRT,DOS;
const  DATA         = $378;
            STATUS     = DATA + 1;
            CONTROL   = DATA + 1;
var      PIPPO : Byte;

Begin
  Port[DATA]  := PIPPO;    
{for the Output at the DATA Address}  
  PIPPO := Port[STATUS]; 
{For The Input at the STATUS Address} 
End.
