comment Programming a parallel port as digital I/O
So I can control up to 8 I/O pins directly from software from the CPU? Would I be able to interface more than 1 of these chips from the same program as well, effectively expanding the number of I/O pins available?

Can you use call functions to read and write pin data directly from C++ programs running on your CPU?

Well this is defiantly comforting. Being a mechanical engineer to begin with and knowing little about programming and even less about electronics; a prebuilt platform that interfaces with C/C++ is exactly what i needed in order to doge the electronics and microcontroller programming aspect. Thanks for your help!

@reemrevnivek: I estimate i would need about a 10 Hz sampling rate for inputs and 1 kHz for outputs, very slow I/O.
