stepper motor control using a usb to parallel adapter

Hi,

I have a stepper motor which uses a parallel port. My computer does not have any parallel port. So I used a usb to parallel adapter and connected it to a usb port of my computer. How can I send signal to the usb to control it? I have a MATLAB version R2019b, 64-bit

I have a code which uses digitalio, but it does not work for the adapter or usb port.

Thanks!

Thank you in advance

Hi Michele,

I used an Arduino Ono microcontroller to send the signals.

And I had to use it in MATLAB. So I programmed it in Arduino IED and then convert it to .hex and used it in matlab.

Hope this helps.
