using LPT plugs for quick connect -> LCD Extension
Hi guys,
I am about to extend my LCD cable. It is a 20 core sheilded cable.
I have a 25core parallel cable (printer cable) here that i am going to cut up and use for the extension (this should be ok right? i think it is sheilded, it has foil on the inside of it????).
In order for me to quickly and easily remove the screen from my car, i am going to use the 25 pin connectors on the end of the parallel cable to connect the screen to and from the extension lead.
In essence, the LCD will now have a 25pin LPT connector on a short lead, and the extension lead will have the opposite sex plug on one end and the connector to the controller on the other.
can anyone see any problems with this idea?
Cheers!
Ian
