Development of Hardware and Software Solutions for Personal Computer Display Issues

This project report details the motivation and solutions behind creating hardware and software to resolve display issues stemming from a discounted display that lacked suitable driving components. The goal was to construct a method for efficiently retrieving vital information from a personal computer. Challenges encountered included adapting TTL-level serial communication and modifying access permissions for serial ports. The project utilized resources including guides on serial programming and specifications from electronic component manufacturers.
