JP 13	DOWN, do not change

PROGRAMMING

DATA OUTPUT:

To output a bit of data to a certain output, place the address of this output on the 8 ADDRESS
lines and the data on the DATA line. Then strobe the STROBE line.
Aii signals at the connector are active low. Some signals, however are inverted at the printer chip
in the PC, so the resulting polarity of the control bits:
Address 0 to 7: inverted
Address 8: straight
Data: straight
Strobe: inverted, write a 1 then a 0.
Note: The outputs are active low, so a data 1 means a low output. All outputs are reset at power
up. There are 9 address bits because the address range of the board is selectable.

DIAG INPUT:

To read the status of an output, read DIAG during the strobe period. It is valid only during the
strobe active period, for the selected address.

DUTY CYCLE CONTROL:

There are two duty cycle oscillators. The main one affects all outputs or all except motor outputs
(120-127), depending on jumper JP12. The motor duty cycle affects outputs 120-127 or none
depending on jumper JP12.

The main duty cycle is controlled by the line DUTY, 1 = 100%, 0 = 25%.
The motor duty cycle is controlled by output 126, 2 = 100%, 0 = 25%.
Note: The purpose of controlled duty cycle in this case is to pull the solenoids at full power and
then immediately cut down the power by reducing the duty cycle.

POWER RELAY:

The power relay is controlled by output 127. Its use is optional.

TIMEOUT FEATURE

If enabled by jumper JP5, output 126 is meant to control a relay, which turns on when strobe is
active, and turns off a few seconds after strobe activity stops. The delay is adjustable. The relay
can be used to control power to the solenoids, to avoid damage in case the PC crashes.
