CHEMISTRY 510

Electronics and Interfacing

Instructor: Jeff Terry

These are the final projects for the CHEM 510 course at the Illinois Institue of Technology (IIT) . The projects demonstrate the use of electronics, computer interfacing, and computer programming in the sciences, particularly chemistry. These student projects show what a fair priced interface board and modular computer code can accomplish. The phidget hardware, now available at phidgetusa, is Mac OS X, linux, and windows compatible. These projects were all completed by students with almost no background in electronics or programming. Their results were quite impressive.
