Σύνοψη

This projects looks more into controlling of an irrigation process using the
PC parallel port.
This will be achieved by,
a) building a card to be interfaced with the parallel port, and
b) Writing software to control it.
The card should be able to control relays that would be used to control valves
of the irrigation system
All this are made possible using a computer.
More and more computers are becoming useful in our homes. This project looks
at some of the uses we can have with our computers at home.
The project looks into a personal computer and a method used to connect an
external electronic device through its parallel port. It allows the use of old PC's at
home that we are thinking of disposing off since it does not demand a lot from the
computer.
It is a simple but very useful project that allows the control of an irrigation system
or a set of appliances at home.
This idea have been conceived having in mind the rapid improvement in the
types of PCs. Very soon almost every home will have an old computer lying idle.
"its like having a genius brains and have nothing to do" This project will bring all
brains to work at home therefore increasing the efficiency at home.
