Paid on delivery
Looking for a Freelancer who has good experience writing code in both Borland Turbo C and Borland Turbo Pascal language. The Freelancer is needed to provide a series of software modifications to legacy type software, written in TP. This project will involve re-writing the code module which toggled a parallel port (deprecated) pin at a programmable rate. It will instead target a DAQ board instead. You would be required to perform register access and programming, but there is full documentation available. The new code will be responsible for initializing the card as well. Alterations will need to be made in the text based user interface/menu system to support the update.

Hello, I am Pascal/C developer with 20 years of experience including TurboPascal. Can you tell me on what operating system should it run and what should be done with DAQ, data retrieval or data sending?

Hi, I believe you will need to include a lot of assembly code inside the Turbo Pascal/C code. I had learnt Pascal as my first language, and graduated to C thereafter. My experience goes upto writing an independent graphics library in C by interfacing with VESA BIOS using interrupts in assembly code. I have a master's degree in computer science, over 15 years of experience, and I'm a published author of books on Data Structures & Algorithms, and Computer Programming. I routinely help graduate/post-gradate students, and even doctoral candidates with various tools & utilities required in their academic pursuits of top grades, coded in C/C++/Java/Python. I believe in first time right delivery, and this commitment is reflected in my 5-star rating and 100% completion rate. I believe I am a good fit given your requirements. Looking forward to working with you on this project, and establishing a basis for ongoing professional engagement. Thanks, Gaurav

Previously, I was already implementing a project with direct access to equipment through registers in Turbo Pascal.

Hello! I had a lot of experience in TP and TC. It was a long time ago, but I'm interested to wake up these skills. I'm interested in this task, but I need to know a few things about it. I will need documentation, of course. And what operating system will be used? DOS or windows like 98, XP or something like this?

It was many yeas ago I used Turbo C and Borland Pascal programming language in MS-DOS. But I think I still have the ability to do things in same way. We can talk about required time for finishing project later after I see your project code and documentation.

Hi, this is Pavel here. 20+ years of experience (yes, old enough to have practical experience with Turbo products). A couple of questions: - on what OS/HW are you going to run this software? Are you sure that there will be no troubles with access to registers etc. from usermode application? - which version of TurboPascal was used to develop the app in question? - You also mentioned TurboC, but I didn't quite catch how is it involved into this project. Thanks, WBW, Pavel.

I am interested in the project. I have a few questions and comments. What was the legacy OS and Whats current OS? Why do you need DAQ ? Which companies IO card are you using ? NI ? What is the type of toggling the parallel port doing... They had a few bits you could read also Would you consider doing it on an Arduino and or raspberry pi or ESP8266 based solutions? So this way its moved from a PC to a USB/network or wifi connected appliance and you open your self to a variety of front ends be it PC or smartphone or tablet.

As a software engineer I've been working in Hardware/Software Codesign for several years. Turbo Pascal was my first programming language IDE and currently I often use Delphi for prototyping. As a teacher, in the past I've provided my students with knowledge on how to control devices through the paralell port with Pascal programming. The work could be started as soon as I receive the source file/s and, if the required information is complete and clear, I could finish it in one week. Even though I'm just a beginner in the freelance world I'm a very experienced programmer willing to help you.
