Synopsis

Embedded internet and internet appliances are the focus of great attention in the computing industry, as they are seen as the future of computing. The design of such devices presents many technical challenges. This book is the first guide available that describes how to design internet access and communications capabilities into embedded systems. It takes an integrated hardware/software approach using the Java programming language and industry-standard microcontrollers. Numerous illustrations and code examples enliven the text. This book shows how to build various sensors and control devices that connect to the TINI interfaces, explains how to write programs that control them in Java, and then ties them all together in practical applications. Included is a discussion on how these technologies work, where to get detailed specifications, and ideas for the reader to pursue beyond the book.

Adding internet access to embedded systems opens up a new world of capabilities. For example, a remote data logging system could automatically send data via the internet and be reconfigured―such as to log new types of data or to measure at different intervals―by commands sent over the internet from any computer or device with internet access. This book describes how to design, build, and program embedded systems with internet access. Special attention is given to sensors and actuators which gather data for transmission over the internet or execute commands sent by the internet. Numerous design case histories, including weather monitoring stations, communications centers, automation systems, and data acquisitions systems, are fully described.Designing Embedded Internet Devices describes how to design, build, and program embedded systems with internet access.

This technology covered in this book is extremely practical as adding internet access to embedded systems opens up a new world of capabilities. Included are many real-world examples such as how a remote data logging system can by commands sent over the internet from any computer or device with internet access automatically send data via the internet and be reconfigured.
