Controlling The World with Your PC
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 3.45/5 from 11 reviews Excellent book, wish I had a copy 15 years ago.Paul's book was not written for those lacking experience in the areas of both electronics and programming. This book ties those fields together very nicely. I really wish I had a copy of this book earlier in my life as it is truly a goldmine of information. The code in this book is for MS DOS, *NOT* MS Windows. Windows handles the parallel port kinda funny and this code is for direct access (which Windows doesn't like). This means you can't run the code in a DOS window. I've adapted some of Paul's code for use on Linux (minimal rewriting) and for control of many laboratory instruments and data logging gear.

I recently purchased a book by another author which was much more helpful for half the price. | ||||||||||||||||||||
