[PD] Connection with sensors - new devices?

I have given workshops with the TELEO modules. A bit pricey but they
are pretty indestructible. Even when you reverse plug the 24v output
into the 5v output. Might get a bit of smoke and a bit of heat but it
will still work afterwards. The major problem is that the screws are
soooo tiny! (http://makingthings.com/)

My preference is now simple Microchips. Read "Physical computing"
(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/159200346X/qid=1135271737/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-4281393-6547015?n=507846&s=books&v=glance)
to get you started.

Just got some new chips and I will try to build the following super
cheap interface: http://www.create.ucsb.edu/~dano/CUI/
