Product Description

Review
"An important addition to the technical library of any engineer, technician, student, or electronics hobbyist who works with PCs."
--TIES Magazine

"According to his publisher, Paul Bergsman has taught technology and mathematics in the Philadelphia public schools for 21 years. The clarity and thoroughness displayed in this book suggest to me that he's a pretty good teacher. I'm giving his book an A+."
--Electronics Handbook

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad, 1 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This book is bad. It is poorly written and the programs did not work on my computer. Even the first project--intended as a simple confidence-builder--required that the code be completely rewritten. Deciphering the author's programming was maddening. Also, some of the projects are dumb: is anyone *really* going to build a burglar detector from this book?

5.0 out of 5 stars A valuable resource with real world examples of interfacing, 14 April 1997
By A Customer
Controlling the World With Your Pc covers a vast array of interface topics, from stepper motors to alarm systems to Analog interface. The text is clear and straitforward with useful discussion of the circut and the accompanying program. The programs are well documented so only a rudimentary knowledge is necessary to get through the examples, and some programming tecniques can be learned just form the examples. The book gives enough information to facilitate further developement of custom interfaces based on those in the book, or those that are completely origional.
