Phidgets are an easy to use set of building blocks for low cost sensing and control from your PC. Using the Universal Serial Bus -USB- as the basis for all Phidgets, the complexity is managed behind an easy to use and robust Application Programming Interface (API). Applications can be developed quickly in Visual Basic, VBA (Microsoft Access and Excel), LabView, Java, Delphi, C and C++ and Macromedia Flash.
Thanks to Eric for helping me find this AMAZING website. This is the easy way of connecting the real world to your computer... without having to spend a whole month in the Electronics Lab and then another one trying to figure out how to code it... so now you can use high-Tec... concentrating more on the significance and detail of your project than the actual technical/engineering aspects of it...
They deliver to the entire world... and all there prices are in Canadian Dollars and I believe the components to be pretty cheap...
There is another website that sell more or less the same product, called: PhidgetsUSA but they seem to be more expensive... and well... I don't understand if they are the same company or not... I guess so. One in Canada... the other in the USA... you choose!
