USB device connects 14 sensors
The DLP-232PC data acquisition module is a low-cost, easy to use, ready-made board for measuring voltages, controlling and monitoring processes and acquiring temperature data.
The DLP-232PC is a USB-powered module which uses single-byte serial commands to control a PIC 18F2410 microcontroller It has 14 I/O channels, eight of which can be used for 0 - 5V analogue inputs

The QT160 IC is a self-contained digital QTouch chip capable of six channels of proximity or touch sensing.
Preprogrammed firmware provides easy access to the I/O lines and external digital temperature sensors.
Up to 14 DS18B20 digital temperature sensors can be connected to DLP-232PC.
The dual-in-line format DLP-232PC data acquisition module is a low-cost, easy to use, ready-made board for measuring voltages, controlling and monitoring processes and acquiring temperature data.
Each of the 14 available channels can be configured for digital I/O or temperature modes via single-byte commands.
Operational power is taken from the host PC via the USB port.
The mode of each I/O is automatically changed with each command sent.
For example, if an I/O is set to Digital Output - High and then the Digital Input Mode is selected, the I/O is first changed to Input Mode and then the high/low state is read and returned to the host.
Users can either use a simple terminal emulator program or write their own program in their language of choice.
The programming interface (ICSP) is also available for custom firmware development.
