How the heck does one drive a lawn mower with a single general purpose input output digital signal pin? Surely steering requires more than just on/off?
See, blatant trolling, when you could have been solving the problem. How many single-bit differential pairs between the computer and the printer? And how can you save any 8-bit ascii characters to a hdd with only one bit wide data path? How did rs-232 etc ever work?
That said, i have seen remote "control" toys where steering was "left", "right", or "center", depending on presence of signal and polarity (or pwm percentage). I used polarity on a cabled remote control of a RCA tv, Roberts reel deck, and FM tuner in 1975, mostly to cut the number of wires in half, and it pretty much set itself up.
