I am very new to this all, I am starting it as a summer project to keep me away from boredom. I have read many posts but none seem to cover exactly what I need. I have a PIC 16F84 that I have been messing around with. I have also been able to make L.E.D.s light up and such from my parallel port on my laptop. My question: I want to control small DC motors, but I don't want to be powering it from my LPT port, I instead want to send something to the PIC and have it turn on another circuit to drive the motor, how should I go about accomplishing this? I am very very new so please be gentle with your answers, and thank you for your help.
