Hi
Does anyone know where I can buy sensors which can connect to a PC.??
I'm particularly interested in things such as Ph, float switches,
temperature
etc, but an interested in anything.

If anyone knows of anything it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

anyhting can be connected to a PC.

What type of connection are you thinking of. serial, ethernet

the software is just as important, as none or crappy software will make
a good transmitter look crap

sensors that operate like switches can be connected to (some of) the pins
in the parallel/serial and joystick ports and read using relatively
uncomplicated software.

more complex sensors are available with USB connectors, they're often more
expensive.
