I am working on a rotating monitor. During this most enlightening experience, I learned a few things.
I also developed a small DOS program to allow me to test my motor and drive.
Thread linkIt is basically a dos version of a program created by Koz319.
I thought I would post it for download here, and maybe remove it from the other thread. (The other thread is getting pretty big.)
Anyway, this program will allow you to enter DOS commands to turn on outputs on the printer port.
The DOS commands are:
drotate (Shows the command switches, 1st screenshot)
drotate l (Turns on assigned output to rotate monitor left)
drotate r (Turns on associated output to rotate monitor right).
drotate sho (Displays the settings file)
drotate s (Opens up the GUI where you can set up the program to do what you want. Other screenshots)
Here it is in zipped form. You might be able to play with it in Windows, but it will only communicate correctly with the printer port in DOS. Unzip the download, you should get drotate.exe
