    Any plans for optocoupler circuit for parallel port?

    Heya,

    Anyone have any plans (or know where I can get one) for an optocoupler circuit for the parallel port to opto-isolate the PC from whatever you plug into the parallel port?

    Thanks,
    Mike

    I do not know of any public domain schematics. However, you can purchase opto-coupled breakout boards designed for the purpose.

    Do search for breakout board on this site.

    One site is www.cnc4pc.com
