General Mach Discussion / Digital scales as input?
« on: October 18, 2006, 08:31:19 AM »
Hi!
I am new to this forum and -I have to admit- a complete Mach-dummy!
My main reason registering here is, that I have built an interface that connects to 4 "cheap chinese scales" and on the other end communicates with an PC over RS232.
What I'd like to know is, whether there is a way to integrate that interface into Mach. I tried to find that out but was more confused after than clueless before.
I know the scales are slow (30 values/second), but if you think they are of any use, I'd like to write some software plug-in or change the firmware if necessary. If only someone could push me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Nick
