The IEEE-1284 bus defines a parallel printer bus specification with speeds above 1MBps. IEEE-1284 defines a Point-To-Point asynchronous bi-directional interface. Devices may be either 1284 compatible {the older parallel port devices} or 1284 compliant. The maximum recommended length for a printer cable is 25 feet [up to 32 feet maximum]. Centronic

s parallel cables run out to 12 feet. The IEEE1284 cable replaced the `Centronics` cable which is obsolete. An IEEE1284 or Centronics interface will be indicated by the printer having an LPT port [line printer terminal], which normally refers to a parallel port. The LPT port would be a Centronics interface before the mid 1990`s or an IEEE1284 after the mid 1990`s. However as of 2005 a printer may not have an LPT port, but instead have a USB port and or a Network port with Ethernet. An Ethernet port will normally be found over an RJ-45 jack. To maintain the compatibility with the original Centronics port which uses open collector drivers, pull-up resistors (Rp) are required to transmit logic high levels. The established common standard resistor values of 2. 2kOhms or 4. 7kOhms. Control and Status lines only require a pull-up resistor (Rp). The data lines and Strobe pin may require a series resistor (Rs) for termination to match the impedance for the 8 bi-directional data lines and the strobe. The series termination value is adjusted so that the addition of the resistor and the driver impedance equal 45 Ohms to 55 Ohms cable impedance. So a driver IC with a nominal impedance of 15 ohms would require a 33 ohm [ standard value ] resistor to comply with IEEE1284. The 1284 standard defines two levels of interface compatibility, Level I and Level II. The Level I interface is defined for products that are not going to operate at...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
