Rambles/!LEDGuess/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

LED Guess V1.00 Requires WBModules �K Wright 1998 This program is freeware. It can be distributed freely as long as all files of this archive remain in tact and unaltered. It was authored on behalf of the Educational Computing Association of Western Australia (ECAWA). Donations to ECAWA can be made by sending cash/cheque/money order to: ECAWA PO Box 297 Claremont West Australia Australia 6010 This program controls the LED's of the parallel port expansion interface card, (details of which can be found at Jim Fuller's site http://www.southwest.com.au/~jfuller/) on Acorn machines with bidirectional parallel ports...i.e. A3020/4000/5000/RiscPC. It has not been tested on A3000 machines but could work on them along with Mike Cook's modules from Acorn User July 1995. It allows the user to investigate which numbers control which LED's of the aforementioned expansion board. The user types in a number, clicks on a button and the LED's corresponding to that number will light up on the screen and on the board. The user can trial different numbers to control patterns of LED's which can later control stepper motors. If you don't have access to the expansion card or don't have the technical know how to make one yourself you can always use Mike Cook's PortMonitor (Acorn User July 1995) to test this software. Thanks go to: Mike Cook for making PortMonitor which allowed me to test LEDCont. Richard Whincup for assistance in sprite control and general programming. "WimpBasic" for making something that even I can use. ECAWA for providing the enthusiasm ignition. I can be contacted at kwright@denmarkwa.net.au
