Re: Revolution and ActiveWire, MacBrick etc

[Sarah]

After a quick look at the relevant web sites, ActiveWire seems to be Windows oriented while MacBrick (obviously enough) is designed for the Mac. MacBrick has a USB version but it just uses serial comms and the manual provides the syntax for it's commands & responses. I have used Rev to interface with custom built controllers using USB to serial adapters. Under OS 9 this works fine, you just have to open the "modem:" or "printer:" port, then you can send the relevant commands to the device and read back it's answers. The Serial Test stack I posted to the User Contributions area can do this.

Hopefully when Rev 2 comes out, it will also be able to perform this type of serial communications.

Cheers,
Sarah

Does anyone have any experience with using Revolution with a generic i/o box
(preferably USB)?

I've been looking for a replacement for the dearly loved ADB i/o, which we
used quite a few of in the past; the principle ones I've found are
ActiveWire and MacBrick. Has anyone tried using one of these with Rev (or
indeed without)? I'd be interested in any experiences, positive or
negative, with either of these devices - or pointers to any others that
might do a similar job.
