Try FSBUS, Phidgets, InterfaceIT, plus a few other home breeds. All have thier advantages and disadvantages.
Thanks, Rob Archer

Subject: [simpits-tech] Hagstrom vs Epic
Question for all of you...I'll be moving into the h/w stages of my flight deck soon. Looking for advice on whether to go Epic or Hagstrom for interfacing.
What are the pros and cons of each? I've heard that Hagstrom will limit you quickly while Epic, although more complex will leave more doors open. I'm a developer, so I'm not afraid of a little code but don't want to make a second career of writing code for Epic.
I'm concerned with how I'll be able to link in things like annunciators, etc. without using something like Epic.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Kevin
