Is there a device that connects to a computers COM or Parallel port that
can measure voltage, on different channels.  All I need is a digital
input like the HB.  So if there is a signal it would report true and if
there is no signal then it would report false.   I need 7 different
channels, and it has to be able to communicate with a C++ program.

Thanks

Isn't your parallel port itself what you want? I always understood that it could be reached (coded) quite easily? That should give you 7 channels! ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter <eacmen@att.net> To: Handy Board Mailing List (...) (25 years ago, 13-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
