| Hi
Does anyone know where I can buy sensors which can connect to a PC.??
I'm particularly interested in things such as Ph, float switches,
temperature
etc, but an interested in anything.
If anyone knows of anything it would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

| anyhting can be connected to a PC.
What type of connection are you thinking of. serial, ethernet
the software is just as important, as none or crappy software will make
a good transmitter look crap

sensors that operate like switches can be connected to (some of) the pins
in the parallel/serial and joystick ports and read using relatively
uncomplicated software.
more complex sensors are available with USB connectors, they're often more
expensive.
