I have been looking at arduino and rasberry pi in relation to building controls for home made machines in my garage. This put the idea in mind for making a BTR type device to communicate through the puncher port on 2 old mori lathes with yasnac 2000G controls in my shop. The type with the single line display. I'm sure someone here knows my pain in programming one of those pains.

Does anyone here know how to setup parallel communication with anything like that? I have also been looking into chips and modules from FTDI for serial to parallel communication. I have several ft232r and ft245r modules.

I know this can be done with one of these methods, maybe both. I'm just not sure of all the parameters/settings. Just curious if anyone could short cut me any. A pinout or any part of setting up either arduino/rasberry pi or an ftdi chip to transfer parallel data to a control like this would be much appreciated.
