Laboratory Experiment 1: High Level Programming with C++ and Digital Interfacing Abstract The prospect of interfacing a physical digital device with the use of software, and affecting the output of software with a physical digital device was investigated. The computers were fitted with ports which were connected to a digital device, which were not part of the computer itself. Software on the computer was used to test weather or not the digital device could be manipulated …

Analysis & Discussion The results of the experiment illustrate that it is not only is it possible to interface a digital physical device but software can be used to control how the device behaves and in turn software can be manipulated by the use of such physical devices.
