This project would not have been possible without the generous assistance of a number of individuals and organizations.
Jay Lieske and Kirk Alexander of Princeton University's Computing and Information Technology department offered much useful advice during the planning stages of the project.
Calvin Diller of MetraTek Corporation provided crucial insights into serial communications and was generally extraordinarily helpful.
Bob Wojciechowski '97 showed me how to control I/O boards.
Bill Vinje of Princeton's Physics department devoted hours to an important late-night bug fix.
George Miller explained Tektronix digital oscilloscopes to me.
Bob Denny made the project possible by writing a robust, full-featured, well-documented httpd server and giving it away for free.
The customer support departments of Airpax Industries, Analog Devices, and Tektronix Corporation were particularly helpful.
Finally, Professor Michael Littman of Princeton's department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering provided all of the material resources behind the project, invaluable guidance, and a great deal of his time. He taught me how much can be accomplished with a positive attitude and a low budget.
