Hi all, does anyone know of any lo-fi or cheap solutions for getting a voltage reading from a line (basically read the status of an infrared detector) and into the serial object of PD, some sort of an A/D converter probably... I'm trying to see if there are any cheaper solutions than using a basic stamp (will be using mine for other things at the same time and am on a budget...)
If you're specifically doing it for interfacing with infared you might want to check out the linux infared project (which is well advanced at this stage). I believe that one of their daemons writes all incoming infared transients to a fifo which you could then read. http://www.lirc.org/
