I'm interested in getting the computer to do tricks > outside the box :-). I don't know of a book on building sensors but our company is coming out with a reference card on RS-232. Seems like once you have all the RS-232 information all you need to do is to interface whatever kind of sensor you build to RS-232. Anyway, if this card is of interest it will be available in May. It costs $3. and is an addition to a line of UNIX, C and DOS references and tutorials. If you want more info, ask to be added to our flyer list. -- Phil Hughes, SSC, Inc. P.O.
