12Mike Podanoffsky | A C++ Programming TutorialNeed help with the paradigm shift from a procedural C to an object-oriented C++? A step-by-step tutorial and lots of examples should help set you on the right track.Download: TELANS.CPP |
22Rick Naro | Characterizing Processor PerformanceA conspicuous lack of useful vendor information about optimizing system performance drive Rick to characterize microprocessor performance himself -- a strategy he sees as critical to design success. |
26Rick Lehrbaum | Designing with PC/104As PC architecture takes over the embedded world, there's greater need for standardization. Why? Lower costs, longer product life, PC and modular compatibility, fewer development tools... |
36Brian Millier | An LCD and Keypad Module for the SPIAppalled at the cost of a 74C922, Brian designs a circuit to connect a keypad and LCD module to microprocessor boards. The serial peripheral interface (SPI) provides fast data transfer with little code support.Download: KBDLCD.ZIP |

Home Automation & Building Control51Rich Blomseth |
Rich believes LonWorks technology fills the gap between whole-house automation systems costing tens of thousands and the low-cost, do-it-yourself market. It provides a common device control scheme and communicates over media often already installed in the home.

Home Automation & Building Control61Peter House |
Picking up where other CEBus articles in INK left off, Peter introduces us to packet construction and CAL messages. By the end, you'll be able to control a real-live CEBus light switch!

Home Automation & Building Control69Herbert McKinney, Jr. |
For Herb, home automation includes not only control of artificial lighting, but also control of natural lighting. The X-10 Miniblind Automation System offers individuals the possibility to reach beyond the confines of their home and stop the impact of a blistering summer day.

Home Automation & Building Control75Scott Heiserman Clark Oden |
Scott and Clark set out to find remote-speaker selection without replacing their current stereo system or spending too much money. The ultimate solution: an add-on component with an innovative infrared learning algorithm and a highly integrated microcontroller.

92Jeff Bachiochi | From the BenchVaporwear: Revealing Your HumiditySultry summer nights, stuck doors -- the genre of humidity. But, humidity is measured just about everywhere. Jeff covers hygrometer basics and runs us through the fundamentals of how to calibrate our humidity sensor. |
98Tom Cantrell | Silicon UpdateA Saab Story: A Tale of Speed and AccelerationTired of bing tormented for being a SAAB fanatic, Tom decides to come up with a "no lie" comparison of speed and handling tips and tricks. His weapon: the Silicon Microstructures 7130-002 accelerometer. |
106John Dybowski | Embedded TechniquesUsing Keyboard I/O as an Embedded InterfaceWhat's a quick-and-dirty way of getting data into a PC without running any special software on the PC? John explores emulation of a PC's keyboard as a software-free data path into the computer.Download: ET57.ZIP |
