Serial Board Documentation
This is the documentation package that accompanies the serial
I/O board project presented in Nuts and Volts Magazine.
The topics covered in this documentation include:
- Serial Board Software Library:
This comprises the bulk of this documentation package, and
provides both general and detailed information for
programmers who are going to use the included software
library for the I/O board. This provides information
for both C/C++ and Visual Basic programmers.
- Hardware Command Reference:
Provides extra information on the raw commands used to
communicate with the I/O board. Note that programmers do
not need this information if they are going to use the
included software library (which is definitely recommended).
These commands can be used for testing and diagnostics when
using the I/O board from a terminal program.
- Test Program:
The included text-based diagnostic program provides an easy
way to test most features of the board.
