: It emphasizes writing programs in Java to control various sensors and actuators connected to the TINI interfaces. Reader Reception
: It is primarily based on the 8051 microprocessor and specifically the TINI microcontroller , which includes a Java Virtual Machine and interfaces like I2C, CAN, RS-232, and Ethernet.
Designing Embedded Internet Devices by Dan Eisenreich and Brian DeMuth is a practical guide focused on building web-enabled hardware using the TINI (Tiny InterNet Interface) platform . Published in the early 2000s, it serves as a foundational text for understanding how to integrate Java-based software with industry-standard microcontrollers.
The book takes an integrated hardware/software approach to designing internet appliances.
