| First, say hello to all of you. This is Ignacio from Madrid - Spain, member of the Club Minibolidos Chamartin. We have installed PCLapCounter software in our four lane Scalextric track (yes, we don't use Ninco, we love the classic essence) and we have connected to the PC with the LPT port using VRS pins: 10,12,13 and 15. We can work with the software settings lanes 10,12,13 and 15 in the Race setting screen but... ... what we want is to asign lanes 1,2,3 and 4 to this pins. Is it possible? Bewst regards, Ignacio |

| No it's not possible, when you use pin 10 you have to set driver on lane 10. Did you have a problem with that restriction ? |

| Hello again: We would prefer to use lanes 1,2,3 and 4 because it easier to manage the races. So, have we to use pins 1,2,3 and 4 in the pins of the plug-in to use lanes lanes 1,2,3 and 4? Thanks, Ignacio |

| I think pin 1,2,3,4 is only for output and not for input , so you can not connect your detector to pin 1,2,3,4. I think i can change my program to map the input pin to the good lanes, i will inform you when the modification is make. |

| I change the lpt interface of Pc Lap Counter, you will have the possibility for exemple to specify that the pin 10 is lane 1 in Pc Lap Counter. Little preview here:  I have to make some test but i think version 4.24 will be released for the 19/02  |

| We tried the new version, all worked fine but there is a little mistake in the new race window. The red-marked numbers still were the pins 10,12,13,15 and not the asigned lanes (1,2,3,4). Regards. |

connect sensor to parallel port interface input pin 10, 11,12, 13, 14, 15, 16, or 17 |

But 10, 11, 12, 13, & 15 are the only input pins avaivable on LPT's. See http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~ih/doc/par/
14, 16, & 17 are Input/Output pins, but getting the PC to read them is nearly impossable. |

I tested with simple connect the pin 14 to the grounded pin and there is reaction in the parallel port monitor .
i tested pin 1, 10,11,12,13,14,15,16 and 17 : all pin work as input , only pin 17 don't work ( i make a error i my previous topic).
So there is 8 input pin : 1,10,11,12,13,14,15,16. |

| I make a complete test and as i say i my previouis topic pin 1,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17 can be used as input pin: To use pin 16 et 17 you need to set "initial state ON" to ON like this:  To test with parallel port monitor you need to click on pin 16 and 17 to set the state to 'red' before, after if you connect pin 16 or 17 to the grounded pin you will see a reaction.  PS: Parrallel port monitor is in female view |
