Recently I succesfully designed a program that could use parport ( connect
a pushbutton to Pin 10) as a method to generate an interrupt to wake up some
process. But, now I need more pushbuttons to wake up different processes,
while there is only one pin of parport I can connect. How to deal with
other buttons? The way I think can be
1) Using bi-direction method, I can read info about which button is
pressed by reading from the data port after the interrupt is generated(of
course I have to connect each button both to pin 10 and one data port).
2) Use other input pins.
Are they feasible? Any new ideas or suggestions?
Thanks a lot!
