About:

This is a kit to make a Programmable Parallel I/O for the RC2014. It uses the 82C55 Programmable Peripheral Interface to provide 24 I/O pins, which can be flexibly configured as input or output.

A customer gave me the idea to design and build this - it made a lot of sense, as the 82C55 is very flexible, programmable via BASIC, and provides a lot of I/O capability. The 82C55 is widely used, notably with Arduino, but also in areas such as RC2014. But nobody seems to make a general purpose 82C55 kit for RC2014.
