Abstract

Two tasks are demonstrated that interact with the user via a Web page. First, a stepper motor is controlled from a Web page. Second, temperature is measured and then sent to a Web page. The methods demonstrated here may be applied to various tasks, such as measurement of the signal from a UV–visible spectrophotometer, a gas chromatograph, a pH meter, et cetera. All of these programs run on a computer utilizing the Linux operating system.
