Re: KoP Revamp?

What about an FTDI Chip. They're normally used to go from RS232 to USB, but I don't see why you couldn't do it in reverse.

They're relatively cheap, and fast enough for input.

The USB to serial or USB to joystick??? Yup slow but effective.

The USB DAQs can be quite fast though ... depending on the overhead of the DAQ driver.

Something like This or this could be a real possibility.
