The circuit shown in Figure 1 provides a simple, low-power means of digitizing analog signals and sending the data directly to a PC's serial port where it can easily be read, analyzed, and stored. The ...

Through all the generations of computing devices from the era of the teleprinter to the present day, there’s one interface that’s remained universal. Even though its usefulness as an everyday port has ...

Without some good means of input and output, a computer makes a pretty good doorstop or boat anchor. Once we start plugging things into a computer, however, it can receive data and instructions, ...

Targeting serial-intensive applications, the SIO-104+8.485 eight-port PC/104 RS-485 module conforms to PC/104 specifications and includes UARTs with 128-byte FIFOs for communication speeds up to 921.6 ...

Anyone know? I wanted to get something semi-rugged for a friends CNC setup, or at least something that's easy to get a skin for the keyboard. Thinkpad stuff is usually easier to find. I suppose a ...

I'm currently involved in a project to critically damp the vibrations of a washing machine using a variable damping coefficient. The way we're getting input from the system is through a serial port ...
