| Maxim sells a chip that I have connected to the parallel port on my PC and it seems to work well. I got the design from an article in Dr. Dobbs. The article was on using Linux to collect data. The author of the article has a book which has the (...) (27 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| (...) For digital values, you can use a parallel port card, or even handshake lines on a serial port. For analog, you can again use a parallel port, and hook up an external A/D chip. As long as you're not trying to get too many bits of resolution (...) (27 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
