About the book
This book began as an attempt to document the Python classes used for programming the TXT 4.0 controller for the author’s own use, but it quickly grew at an alarming rate when more and more additional material was incorporated to provide the background and rationale for the TXT 4.0 controller’s implementation, not to mention a running commentary about the implementation.
