CI 5 DC Motor

This circuit allows controlling the speed of a DC motor from a PC's parallel port using a software program. The motor is connected to an interface circuit consisting of a decoder, inverters, resistors and a timer chip. The software uses pulse-width modulation to select a resistor and change the timer output, controlling motor speed in 8 levels. The user can start the motor, increase, decrease or exit the program by entering choices.
