Name of project: Light game on printer port
Stage: REALISED
Scope: Just for fun
Materials used:- 8 LEDs (LED=Light Emitting Diode)
-few short wires
-1 Centronics 25 pin male connector
-10 wires cable (8 wires for LED's anodes, 1 wire for ground, 1 wire for
reserve )
-8 resistances of 900 Ohm ( I found values for this resistors in interval
470 Ohm - 1,7 KOhm in various documentations but using values to 1,7
KOhm it reduces intensity of light )
Semnification of used pins:
I've used data pins of printer port (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) , each one
it's used to control one LED and pin 25 for ground.In the process of documentation
I found in few sources recomendation that all the ground pins must be soldered
electrically together. The electrically schematic follows.
