I would appreciate any help to get me started with my project.
The CGP-115 printer I am trying to use with an 18x has two inputs, parallel and serial.
The parallel interface is 8 bit and uses Busy handshaking, Strobe, and Acknowledge.
The serial interface is RS-232-C using Data and Busy, 600 baud, 7-bit character, no parity, 2 stop bits.
My problem is that I don't really understand what is required for the 18x to send data to this printer. Am I trying to do something that is not possible with the Picaxe? I have to read previous postings on this forum but am still unclear as to how to proceed.
