C Classes

Does anyone know where I can take an online C class that teaches how to interface with external hardware devices?

Okay, but what about this?

well 2 things, the device you want to operate with(and how it's connected to your computer) and which OS you're using..

No, just a quick glance and a search for "device interfacing" on those sites.

Keep in mind you'll have to use the Win32 API or DirectX if you're developing for Windows.

Okay, now I found something good: MSDN. But what about people who actually went out and invented hardware, interfaced it with their computers and wrote programs for it? I want to find out how they did that as in from their personal experiences.

I think your best bet would be learning those things seperately, because nobody invents hardware, writes programs for it, and then a tutorial or two.

Besides, it's not that hard once you know how to make hardware and how to interface with it. Just act on what you know then.

Okay, I found places on how to invent hardware, c to write programs, but I'm not sure what instructions to use to interface in c with hardware. Any help to my cause will helpful to me.

Never used c and never intend to, but there's probably calls like out (addr) (value)

Aren't those assembly instructions, though?

Arcane Wizard · Posted: 17 Jun 2004 08:02:48 am Post subject:

Ever heard of inline assembly? It is teh win for linux and dos programming. Either that, or DirectX like I said, which replaces IO assembly because that's no longer possible in Windows.

I was looking into inline assembly for C++ and found a bunch of documentation available on gamedev.net but I abandoned that when I read windows doesn't allow direct acces to devices and now I'm going to learn DirectX instead, the tutorials looked nice though, you might want to look around for them.

If you open the ports using userport or something then you can use direct IO.

I think the best thing to do is buy a book on it... everything I've learned in my life (other than school stuff) were either with books or videos! idn if that works for you, though.
