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. The text introduces 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.
These concepts are conveyed using potentiometers, LEDs, speakers,
photoresistors, and buttons. The text was written by Andrew Lindsay of
California State University, Sacramento, and is available for purchase
or download. The text may be duplicated for use in an educational
environment.
