[plug] sensors

[Paul Antoine]

Adam,

I have designed a PCB using a USB-enabled PIC micro which takes sensor 
input and provides digital and relay-switched outputs.  Its I/O 
capabilities are easily extended.

It plugs into a USB port and the firmware makes it appear as a serial 
port to the PC which allows you to request and receive sensor 
information using simple scripting on the Linux side.

The underlying firmware is open source, as is much of the code I've 
contributed (mostly because I've yet tidy up the rest for release.)  All 
of the firmware development is under Linux using open source and 
Microchip's MPLAB.

I'd be happy to work with you to provide a solution for your customer.

Regards,

To keep this on-topic, and for those wanting to know more, the design is 
based on the UBW:

Email me if you'd like advise on the UBW, or help setting up the 
development environment under Linux (I use Ubuntu.)
