Check out the code in WispDDE:
Sub IF100RotorSetAzEl(Az, El, Port As Integer)
As Tony says, you need some nasties to talk straight to the parallel port. You may already have that in HRD for other rotators like the FODTrack.

I can be more specific - it's the strobing I need to set.

Does anyone know how to drive the IF-100 via the parallel port? I am sure I am send the correct commands (I've looked in the WISP code) but am failing to get the hardware to recognise my commands. The same hardware works fine with an old DOS program.
