Thanks for the input.
I really am looking for a solution involving a script without the need of programming a circuit board or PIC, if that is even possible. I was curious if there was a way to recode pins 1 and 2 as inputs and have the computer detect any changes in these two pins, as a response.
I am open to any programming languages or suggestions.
At the moment I am just trying to figure out the basics of how to do it so that I can research it. This is for a windows xp 32-bit computer.
Thanks.
