As the computer becomes increasingly
prevalent in society, its functions and applications continue
to expand. Modern software allows users to do everything from
balance a checkbook to create a family tree. Interfacing, however,
is truly the wave of the future for those who want to use their
computer for things other than manipulating text, data, and graphics.
Real-World Interfacing With Your PC provides all the information
necessary to use a PC's parallel port as a gateway to electronic
interfacing. In addition to hardware fundamentals, this book provides
a basic understanding of how to write software to control hardware.
While the book is geared toward electronics hobbyists, it includes
a chapter on project design and construction techniques, a checklist
for easy reference, and a recommended inventory of starter electronic
parts to which readers at every level can relate. |
