Hi all,
I know many of you integrate analog circuitry and custom made gadgets with the PD domain, perhaps heat or pressure sensors.
I was wondering if there was an orthodox method of hooking these up to a system running PD. Is there such a thing as a 1-chip "voltage to RS-232C converter" or anything of a similar kind ?

a similar kind, yes. if you want to play around yourself, i recommend you to take a look at the pic micro's or the avr micro's. these are complete microcontrollers with a lot of built in peripherial options. so, there are chips available that have built-in adc converters, a serial interface, etc. as far as pic's are concerned, you may check www.microchip.com, select any 18f device of your chioce and order them as free samples. then you may check www.gnupic.org for tool to program it, if you dont want to use the closed-source microchip tools.

Christian,
So I guess this IS the way people go. Although I knew about PICs, I must admit that I have never really been an analog circutry person.
So far I've been fiddling with motion detection in Gem along with my video camera. In order to realize some more advanced ideas I have, I guess I'll just have to bump up priorities of "PIC programming" and "analog circuitry" on my list of things to study.
I appreciate the links, especially the GNUPIC which I never imagined of :) Thanks.

I personally use both Christian's multio and arduino with IR sensors
http://www.mamalala.de http://www.arduino.cc
both of them are open source hardware and have a kind of "pd driver"
ciao, davide.

you might also want to check http://www.sensorwiki.org/index.php/ Sensor_interfaces for a longer list of available interfaces
I think you could remove "PIC programming" from your priority list -
"analog circuitry" definitely helps though...
