Hi there,
I am planning on doing a smallish industrial type project. I want to hook up 3 pumps and a few valves to a comp in the house (other things may follow - such as control of horse troughs).
I have downloaded HouseBot and am seeking advice on what components to use - ie should i hook up a PLC directly to the comp and can i control it's ports using HouseBot? I have heard about DAQ boards and am wondering how this solution compares to a PLC.
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers,
Simon.
