Actually I think I have found a pretty good device here: http://www.kadtronix.com/usbdacq.htm

But this one is also built around the good old PIC16c745... :-)

Ohhh!!! found a good one here!!! I might see about getting one

-Edit- And for $30... this looks like a real winner!!! http://www.circuitgizmos.com/products/cgu421/cgu421.shtml

Looks interesting. Don't forget to update us once you have completed your project.

I found an inexpensive FPGA and USB microcontroller if you decide to go this path:

Not a bad price... But not really what I need, as I want something like this:



LEDs/Buttons/Sensors/Motors<------USB----->Computer<----USB---->Sensors/LEDs

After trying out a few various PIC systems... The Arduino Duemilanove has proven to be cheap and quite brilliant! The development software is all C++, which does make life easier after struggling with PIC asm(it's not hard just a bit tedious after spending a few nights with it)...

I see Arduino have have just released a new board called the "UNO"... I might have to get one... I've found a new love
