1-03-2001 | In previous articles in this series we have described an A/D converter based on a counter. A ‘real’ A/D converter, however, converts a volta...

1-02-2001 | In the previous instalment we measured capacitances and resistances. You may have wondered if this was all worth the effort, when accurate a...

1-01-2001 | So far in this series we have used the PC only with digital signals: switching, monitoring and counting. Now we turn to the analogue domain:...

1-12-2000 | So far we have studied the characteristics of the RS-232 outputs in detail. Now it is the turn of the inputs. The standard demands that an i...

1-11-2000 | In this third part we look at the output signals of the RS-232 interface. In order to control devices with these output signals, it is neces...

1-09-2000 | At one time or another many readers may have thought about controlling or monitoring equipment using their PC. Electronics projects using a...

1-06-1998 | Using this simple circuit, it is possible to measure analogue signals via the serial port of a PC. The chosen approach allows even a ‘cast...
