Never developed any I/O stuff before, I'm simply experimenting at the moment, so forgive any stupidity please.
What I want to do is get a reading of a potentiometer into my computer.
I'm assuming I have to convert the analogue signal to digital. There seem to be a number of ways to do this but the most suggested is using a pic.
From here it's a question of connecting via the serial port or parallel port.
Is this correct? Does anyone know of any good tutorials on this at a very basic level.
Cheers for any help in advance.
