Hi, i am newbie in the world of microcontrollers and their usage. I am spending lot of hours reading about them lately. I can’t afford a programming board right now but i’m thinking of making a small parallel cable to connect to avr. I was thinking that maybe someone would be willing to make a trade with me.
Recently my uncle which work as a engineer in a industrial company gave me this PLC. It is a programmable logic controller computer with integrated touchscreen. Here is a link to the user guide for specs : http://www.ctcusa.com/ctcnet/support/Ma … 087105.pdf
It is way too complicated for me and i dont know what to do with it. The thing has two serial ports, an ethernet port and ps2 connections for mouse and keyboard. The thing is running dos 6.22 and has a flash card slot.
I dont know if it could be used to control maybe some kind of house domotic project. The thing was used to control water flow from different pipes. If someone got a clue of what it could be used for id be glad to hear it.
And If someone is interested in trading a decent programming board for it send me a msg. For a newbie like me this is way too much. Because right now the thing is just gathering dust on my shelf. All id want would be to learn microcontrollers and their programming.
Thank you
