QST Article
An article about a project with goals to teach kids what it
takes to get to Mars and go exploring with a robot. The idea is to
have kids plan, build and operate a programmable robot equipped
with measuring devices and then analyze the data it returns, just
like their NASA counterparts. |

Internet-Based Remote
Control using a Microcontroller and an Embedded Ethernet Board.
This article shows a developed DC motor position control
experimental setup that can be accessed via the Internet. The
experiment consists of two primary elements communicating with
each other: i) a server consisting of a low-cost microcontroller,
Parallax¡¦s 40-pin Basic Stamp 2 module (BS2P40), interfaced with
an embedded ethernet IC, Cirrus Logic¡¦s Crystal CS8900A, and ii) a
client computer. |
