Parallel port

The diagram below shows the parallel port and what all of the pins do. For our current purposes, we only need pins 2-9 and pins 18-25.

 positive side of a LED into pins 2-9 on your parallel port and the negative side of the LED into pins 1825.

 Ok, as I stated above, Visual Basic doesnt provide any direct access to the parallel port. So, we will have to declare the functions that we will need to use from the INPOUT32.dll.

Declaration for parallel Port in VB6. Private Declare Function Inp Lib "inpout32.dll" _ Alias "Inp32" (ByVal PortAddress As Integer) As Integer
Private Declare Sub Out Lib "inpout32.dll" _ Alias "Out32" (ByVal PortAddress As Integer, ByVal Value As Integer)
