[simpits-tech] a tale of Phidget Mania...

Guys, ive been talking offline with Chester about these phidgets, and he
is currently prototyping a 5x7seg display phidget and a rotary encoder
phidget for me. They will be available for sale as well. The price is
very good, and coding them *Should* be a breeze.
 So, Im working on code too, specifically my goal right now is a Cessna
C172 panel for IFR using phidgets all over, but initially with a monitor
for rendering just the gauges ONLY. All else will be phidget driven.
 Im on a tight deadline, with only 8 weeks to get it running. I'll post
pics and write it up as I go.

Cheers
Chris.

I spec'd the wrong URL.  Try http://www.phidgets.com - pay special note
to the 256 input unit for $50. *Huge Grin*
