3 Simple Ways to
Share What You Make

With Instructables you can share what you make with the world — and tap into an ever-growing community of creative experts.

PhotosPhotos

Share one or more photos of a project, recipe, or whatever you've made, quickly and easily.

Step by StepStep-By-Step

Share your step-by-step photos with text instructions of what you made so others can do it too!

VideoVideo

Share your how-to video. You'll need your embed code from a video site such as YouTube.

Step 2Requirements

You will need:
- Windows (also works with x64 versions)
     It should be possible to make this work on Linux, but not on a Mac, because as far as I know, Macs do not have a parallel port
- A parallel port
     Most new computers don't have an integrated parallel port, so you'll have to buy a PCI-to-parallel card yourself. From what I read on the internet, not all cards will work, and USB-to-parallel also won't work.
- Mozilla Firefox with the Greasemonkey extension installed or Google Chrome (Opera might work too)
- 2 LEDs
- Centronics Printer cable (optional; I use it as an extension cable)
