Code

AbstractIO

This is my framework for abstracting any I/O operations to objects implementing simple interfaces. The actual program code can then accept any implementation of a needed interface. For example, you need a stop switch as an object implementing IBooleanInput. Easy - just use a button connected to an I/O pin. But you can change the physical implementation to a light barrier giving an analog value, converting this using a Schmitt Trigger component to a boolean value, and pass this to the very same program code. Also, you may pass mock objects to unit-test your program before having any hardware at all.
