Leo is a great guy and goes the extra mile to help and he is local.

Thanks, Anon, looks like a handy little gizmo. Shortcoming for my requirement is lack of outputs - but I may get one anyway!

thanks for the site sir , its really help full , thank you

Labjack is a good unit -- we've used them several times. They're especially good for the price.

Try PICO in the UK and HOBO in the US. You could also patch together a taylormade system using Parallax Stamp.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I've looked at the PICO range, and they look like just the job for higher spec. units (picoscope etc.), but for what I need at present, the Labjack seems to win out on cost & flexibility.

Thanks for the reminder about the STAMPS - I'd forgotten they existed! Not really what I'm after now, but worth bearing in mind for other projects.

Also thanks to Bill for the comment.

Try Maplin Electronics, just round the corner from you, www.maplin.co.uk code L92BL currently on offer £24.99

I looked at this when it was £34.99, and thought it good value, then. Even better value, now, but not quite flexible enough for my needs - some of my ideas need 5 or 6 analog inputs (and I don't want to spend time lashing up a mux); others need analog output, others both A & D, I & O.

Thanks for pointing it out, tho'. I think I've settled on a Labjack, but I'm now split between the Maplin job and a Stamp, or maybe a Joystick thingy (see Anon's post), for doing other stuff (long term monitoring of this'n'that, which would otherwise tie up my "main bit of kit").
