SeriCon, a universal serial (COM) port control program, recently included a new feature that generates 2-wire stepping pulses through RTS/DTR pins. Manual, backward and periodic auto steps can be easily run by buttons and a spinner. Furthermore CTS/DSR/RLSD pins can be used to stop stepping, for the rotating body not to hit something. Go to Motor for details.

PulsePar turns a PC into a multi-channel pulse generator utilizing the parallel port. The period, duty and phase of each channel are adjustable so as to be used in PWM systems as well as in testing servo and stepper (stepping) motors.

ScopePar turns a PC into a multi-channel oscilloscope module utilizing the parallel port, the user interface to which is SeriCon on other PC.
