Hi, I'm a newb to the whole beagle/pi/arduino world, but from what I've seen, beagle appears to have the best 'support system' so I'm going to start here. I'm also not a 'hardware guy'.
I've been asked to design what is basically a data collection system, that will have between 4 and 6 instruments connected to it. All of them are 'off the shelf' sensors that have, as their only means of interface, rs232/ db9 connectors (yes, I could change the db9's to something else :-) In poking around it seems that the best way to get those inputs into the system is with a 4 or 8 port USB hub. Is that a correct assumption on my part or is there a way to get ports "directly" onto the system with some sort of multi-port cape? If the answer is "you can do 4 but not 6", I could probably live with that, as physical mounting space is somewhat limited where all this has to go. Thanks!
