The matte-black circuit board is extra thick and has subtle white markings, including an alphanumeric grid and PIN labels. The wiring pattern – that of classic breadboards – is easy to see by looking at the exposed traces on the bottom of the board.
The kit comes complete with the 'Integrated Circuit Leg' stand and 8 colour-coded thumbscrew terminal posts. Using the terminal posts and solder points, you can hook up to your 'IC' with bare wires, lugs, alligator clips, and/or solder joints. Connections to the 8 terminal posts are through the three-position strips on the PCB; each is labelled with the corresponding PIN.

This is the second edition of a book aimed at engineers, scientists, and hobbyists who want to interface PCs with hardware projects using graphical user interfaces. Desktop and web-based applications are covered.
The programming language used is Python 3, which is one of the most popular languages around: speed of programming being a key feature. The book has been revised and updated with an emphasis on getting the user to produce practical designs with ease – a text editor is all that is required to produce Python programs.
Hardware interfacing is achieved using an Arduino Uno as a remote slave. A full description and source code of the communication interface is given in the book. The slave provides digital and analog input and outputs. Multiple Unos can be included in one project with all control code written in Python and running on a PC One project involves a PIC microcontroller with the code provided that can be loaded into the PIC using the Uno.
The web applications and server are all implemented in Python, allowing you to access your electronic hardware over the Internet. The Raspberry Pi computer can be used as your web server. An introductory chapter is provided to get you started with using Linux.
The book is written for use with Debian or variations including Mint or Ubuntu. All of the programs in the book are freely available, ready to use and experiment with by way of a download from Elektor.
