Voice input and synthesis
-Light detectors
-Thermometers
-Pressure Sensor
-Musical note generator
-Anemometer (to measure windspeed)
-Tachometer "wand"
-Serial-out driver for the cassette port
-Data communications plugboard
-Half-year clock
-"Joysticks" for Models I and III
Provides careful, step-by-step instructions on building the projects, plus descriptive material on the internal design of the Model I, III, and Color Computer electronics.
Combines hardware and software techniques to accomplish more efficient interfacing tasks.
