Making the Most of the Micro: Everything Under Control (4x8)

:

Ian McNaught-Davis and John Coll look at a range of micro-controlled applications, from a sophisticated mechanical hand for the disabled to a number of do-it-yourself devices, including a temperature sensor and an inexpensive robot vehicle.
