Lab 02 - Parallel Port I/O (Part I)

Introduction
In computing, the parallel port is an interface used on computers for connecting peripheral
devices such as printers ( in the early days). In a parallel port, data is sent parallelly; multiple
bits of data at once. i.e.: parallel data communication.

Figure 01: Parallel port interface.

Figure 02 shows the pin diagram of the parallel port

Figure 02: Pin diagram of the parallel port


The D7..D1 Register is the data register and S7..S3 is the status register which we will be
using to give outputs and inputs respectively.
As you can see, the pin numbers are not connected to the registers in consecutive order. Also,
sometimes they are interchanged, and sometimes they are inverted. You should pay
attention carefully to these pins when you program and connect the port into a circuit. You
may have to interchange wires and use shift operations/bitwise operations to handle
inverted input/output.

Parallel Port Pinout Diagram is as follows (Figure 03)

Programming the parallel port


This is a sample program which shows you how to use the parallel port. It reads the value of
the status port register and directly writes that value to the data port register, without taking
into consideration bit inversions.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/io.h>
#define DATA_PORT 0x378 /* parallel port base address */
#define STATUS_PORT DATA_PORT+1
#define CONTROL_PORT DATA_PORT+2

unsigned char status, data;

void main(){
if (ioperm(DATA_PORT, 1, 1)){
fprintf(stderr, "Access denied to %x\n", DATA_PORT), exit(1);
}

if (ioperm(STATUS_PORT, 1, 1)){
fprintf(stderr, "Access denied to %x\n", STATUS_PORT), exit(1);
}

status = inb(STATUS_PORT);
data = status;
outb(data, DATA_PORT);
}
ioperm function set port input/output permissions. inb does the port input and outb does
the port output. Please refer to Linux man pages for more information about arguments and
return values.

74LS47 IC and 7-Segment display


Figure 2 shows the 74LS47 IC connected to a common anode 7-segment display. By giving
binary representation to the input of the IC you can display numbers from 0-9 on the
display. Refer to the attached datasheet for the IC for more details.

Lab Exercises - Pre Lab


Part 01
1. Draw the circuit diagram that includes a 7-segment display and the data port of the
parallel port. Make sure that you have to connect separate resistors in
series for each segment of SSD!
Calculate the resistance of the resistors that need to be connected
2. Write a program to light up each segment of SSD one by one.

Part 02: Display 0-9 numbers on a single 7 segment display


1. Differentiate between the common anode and common cathode 7-segment display.
2. Write a program to display characters from 0-9 in an infinite loop with a delay of 1
second between each character.

Part 03: Display 0-9 numbers on a single 7 segment display using 74LS47
IC
3. Draw the circuit diagram that includes a 7-segment display, 74LS47 IC, and the
parallel port. Refer to the datasheet of the 74LS47 IC to find the least significant bit of
the output. (Use common anode)

4. Write the program to display characters from 0-9 in an infinite loop with a delay of 1
second between each character.
Part 04: Change the numbers displayed in the SSD with a push button
1. Draw the circuit diagram that includes a push button to take inputs, a 7-segment
display, and 74LS47 IC to show outputs and the parallel port. Make sure you use
proper resistors (pull-up/pull-down) when taking inputs through the push button.
