    Wireing up MPG, ESS or Parallel ??

    Hello everyone

    I just got my MPG and was thinking on wiring it up to the Parallel port to keep the I/O pins on my ESS free for future things

    Is that a good idea ? Should i go to the ESS or it don't make a difference ??


    Thanks

    I'm not sure if you can use parallel port and ESS at the same time?

    You could go with the UC300ETH, it has 5 LPT ports with about eighty I/Os then you will likely not need to use any additional ports. And it is cheaper than the ESS.

    No, you can't use both. One or the other.
