Hi,
My name is Mario Maciel (Industrial Electrician). I have a task at work that is consuming me literally. I'm an Industrial Electrician but I love electronics.
Project: I need to transfer BCD data to PC through the parallel port and generate Excel reports. This project is about a rotaring machine that has 24 brackets that need to be perfectly aligned to for a circle when it rotates at high speed with a minimum of misalignment. Any problem would cause lots of damage to the machine.
I have a sensor that detects the brackets for 9 ms time each, after the inspection time I need to collect the BCD value of 6 LED digits and deliver it to the PC to be stored for the reports. I have to do this in 30 mc, which is before the next bracket is inspected. I have used the CD4518 dual BCD counters and 4511 LED decoders. The next step is to use the parallel port of my laptop to read this 6 digit value.
Please help... Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks.
