Thanks *Brian,
I realized after reading the schematic and data sheets (DUH, should have looked there first) that UBW’s microcontroller had some analog inputs on a number of the dual purpose I/O pins, so this will probably do what I want with some firmware hacking. By the way, are the pin spacings on Spark’s UBW board setup so they match the spacing on a solderless breadboard? ie: just solder in some of these http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/produc … cts_id=116 and plug it straight in?
By any chance, are there plans for something as simple as a UBW but with more I/O pins? 14 is enough for my development needs…but it would be better if it had 2-3 times as many.
If you’re curious about the project this is for, see my post “USB HID development platforms (for simulator cockpits)” in the Projects section of this board. Short version, I’m trying to work out a nice simulator cockpit.
Here’s a link to the post (assuming I got it right)
