Thank you for
your interest in Embedded Systems: Desktop Integration.
This book explores designing embedded systems and monitoring
and controlling them from desktop systems. Through the
step-by-step development of an embedded thermostat, readers
learn how to implement three different hardware interfaces:
RS-232, USB, and Ethernet. Several different components are
used to provide the reader with alternative hardware
solutions.
Additionally, three different types of microcontrollers are
used to implement the intelligence in the thermostat: the
BASIC Stamp, the dsPIC, and the Cypress PSoC. Monitor and
control software is developed for Windows, Linux, and the BSD
operating Systems. Several cross-platform tools are explored
including wxWindows, Borland Delphi and Kylix, and C++BuilderX,
and there is even a section on how to make your own printed
circuit boards.
Oliver Bailey has been developing hardware, software,
and mechanical tools for almost 30 years. He began his
hardware and software career working on the DOSPLUS operating
system for Radio Shack Computers in the late 1970s, and also
worked on MACRO-MON, a machine language debugger. In 1980 he
began working on a project that became one of the first
commercially sold programs for the IBM PC, “The
Programmer.” He also was software development director for
one of the first online services. In 1985 he started his own
company, specializing in embedded, real-time, and
communications hardware and software, and has developed
systems for industrial machine vision, machine control,
warehousing, bar code, and telecommunications tracking
devices. Currently he is developing several motion control
systems for garden railroads and woodworking machines.
