Semplici metodi per interfacciare e usare l’elaboratore come strumento di laboratorio (traduzione di S. Sgrignoli)

I will give some suggestions for presenting informatics to students from a physical point of view instead of a purely algorithmical point of view, with an eye to some interesting aspects of the way the hardware works. I will then examine the possibility of interfacing a microcomputer in simple ways, through the built-in input-output interfaces, for the purposes of using it as a laboratory instrument.
