i know it is possible to output something in MATLAB via parallel port.. but i don't know how!! this is in regards to the PCB drilling machine.. we cannot base our project from CNC since we have to make from scratch. what we have in mind is that we extract a gerber file from OrCad, relate it to Matlab which gets our coordinates which sends out x and y coordinates via parallel port (pins 2 and 3). our pcb drill has its own pic which gets the x and y coordinates from the parallel port, and converts it to polar coordinates..
are we a genius or not, ahaha! jowk!![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
seriously, that's our concept in mind, and i hope it really does work..
we only have less than a month to finalize all of our ideas.. i hope you guys help us out!
thank you!
