Hi,

If you are on a really tight budget, buy a I2C A/D convertor. I've got one
that has three analog inputs, and one analog output. It costs less then 6
dollar. You'll have to connect it to your serial port, and write your one
drivers. The ic only has 8 pins, all comunication goes through 2 wires (and
a ground).

If it is for educational projects, this will be a great exercise.

Regards,

Wiebe Walstra.

Dataq has a WinDAQ starter kit which has four analog in and one analog outs
which connects to your com ports. The kit includes a copy of WinDAQ and you
can download LabVIEW drivers from their web page. It's $15 and is available
at

http://www.dataq.com/cgi-local/SoftCart.exe/115.htm?E+scstore

I've got one that I'm using to develop a weather station for one of my kid's
science project. It works fine. It certainly isn't fast but for the price it
can't be beat.

Oops sorry, one digital out. No analog out.
