Linux Toys
Linux Toys... are interesting I/O devices for Linux PCs and are used to
amuse and entertain. Each article on this web site presents a short
tutorial and application note on an I/O device.
The Code... You won't find RPMs, ./configure, or even Makefiles. We
strive to expose the device protocol in as few lines of code as
possible. To do this, we sacrifice some functionality and some error
checking. Most programs fit in a single file and are built using just
gcc -o.
The articles usually describe things which are available at your local
electronics store, but some articles describe do-it-yourself
construction projects. (Be ready with a wire-wrap tool!)
These are just toys .... they are 'for the fun of it' and are not
always meant to solve real-world problems. If you do find a business use
for any of these projects please let us know.
