Re: Support for Phidgets 4-channel DAC?

I dont know if you have solved this problem, but the 4 channel DAC is listed under phidgets analog in flowstone. The full phidgets lineup is supported.

Re: Mini Balancing ‘Segway’ Robot

Re: Looking for help with a "Selecting" function

Re: Looking for help with a "Selecting" function

I like this idea alot. Its very simple and it has the "Hacker" side of things. I also just settled for making my own selector that uses busses and alot of logic gates to ultimately come up with all the possible configurations of the robot. more complex than I wanted but i made them into modules so ...

Re: Phidgets 8/8/8 pwm output question

I understand what you mean about speed. Got the motor controller running like a champ via USB-Serial adapter through an RS232-TTL level converter.

Re: How can I make phidgets 8/8/8 wireless

I have been looking into this for a while now even though I finally just bought the phidgets board and got it yesterday. I think I'm going to go with the IOGEAR 4 port device instead of the 1 port to also be used with my webcam, USB-Serial adapter for Motor Controller and phidgets 8/8/8. I'm working ...

How can I make phidgets 8/8/8 wireless

Hey guys,
the title says it all. I have an 8/8/8 and I'm curious how I can make this wireless. Can I plug it into a wireless print server and still see it the same way?

Thanks.
