Step 3Wrap Up
Hopefully you've got all the information you need to complete this project... however, if you don't - I'll give you the information I had when I made all of my parts.
I really welcome comments and criticism, so please don't hesistate to speak your mind.
Before I go and wrap this up, I have a little beef I want to clear up - if you're not interested, just skip past the italic text...
When I realized I needed custom control software for this project I did what only seemed rational, I logged on the mIRC channel #C on irc.freenode.net. All I met there was pretentious jerks who just wanted to stroke their own egos. It was horrible - I'm not exaggerating. The only favor they did me was mentioning Rent-A-Coder, and even that was done snidely.
Rent-A-Coder is a great utility for people who want to make projects, or want to concentrate on something other than programming - it's difficult enough without that insanity. It was really easy to use, and I definitely give kudos to the designer of it. Didn't cost me much, either!
So, to wrap it up - here's the software and external links I promised.
Parallel Relay Control (Command line based) Big thanks to Agustin Derregibus, my very cooperative programmer. Source included!
Parallel Relay Controller (Uses hotkey "numpad 9" to toggle pin 1 on the parallel port on/off) Included is the source, icon, and original PNG (which I made). Big thanks to my buddy Jake Kramer who made this on short notice for me!
Relais Timer (German, scroll to the bottom for the download link) (for debugging your paralell port relay, if you need it)
Original (This is the instructable that inspired my project)
RedCl0ud's Place (Has all the drivers and information you need to make the remote)
Hope you enjoyed! This is my FIRST instructable!

I have to say using Rent-A-Coder was genius. The links in this page (Parallel Relay Control, and Parallel Relay Controller) seem to be broken tho, do you have an alternative host?
