Publisher's Synopsis
This book concentrates on how RobotBASIC programs can interface with a wide variety of off-the-shelf hardware. Many options will be explored including both serial and parallel ports and how a separate microcontroller can be used to handle the low-level I/O operations. You will even see how vision, speech synthesis, voice recognition, and Internet communications can be used in your RobotBASIC programs. The main portion of the book uses straightforward, less intimidating examples to introduce the concepts without being overwhelming. A series of appendices provide additional details for more intricate information. You may download a free copy of RobotBASIC from www.RobotBASIC.com.
