Basic Analog and Digital is a 162-page tutorial that covers the essentials of 8-bit A/D and D/A conversion using a BASIC Stamp(R) module. -- The text introduces students to PBASIC commands for A/D conversion with resistor/capacitor circuits, interfacing an ADC0831 8-bit A/D converter, scaling analog outputs into meaningful digital values, analyzing time-varying signals, and using PWM as analog output. Students explore these concepts using potentiometers, LEDs, speakers, photoresistors and buttons. -- The text was written by Andrew Lindsay of California State University, Sacramento, and it may be duplicated for use in an educational environment. -- This kit requires a Board of Education programming board kit (30535-15), sold separately. |
