that makes it pretty self explainitory


you write to the parallel port using 0-255
8 lights, 255 possible combos

each light represents a bit
so like


1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128


just add up the numbers for which lights u want on...


for example


if u want lights 1 3 6 and 8 on

it would be 165 or \xA5 in hex


i then used delays (sleep) in c to time everything"
