Does anyone have experience interfacing the DLP-
IO8-G data acquisition module with PH? It's low
price and simple design look ideal for monitoring
DI's and AI's.

Jimmy,
Took a quick look and the device and the specs and it
looks like it would be a simple task to add support.
Should be doable via a plugin if you're handy with
programming. I'd like to add support as a native
controller (and have added it to the to-do list) but
realistically, it's a ways off for me because Im so far
behind on all the other controllers Ive promised support
for.
What I probably need to do with these types of simple
controllers is create a controller plugin which will
allow a plugin (these can be user developed and the SDK
is documented in the help file) to appear as a native
controller (so existing Device Status and Digital I/O,
Analog, etc. all work). Another option would be to
finish the xPL controller so that support for these
controllers can be done as an xPL program. A last option
would be to develop a generic controller with a
definition file that can be specified by the user
containing the protocol, etc. This would probably only
support the most simplest of devices/protocols and would
be the least universal.
Dave.

I just wanted to say how much I would like to see a controller plugin SDK. There are lots of little devices I would like to be able to create and integrated plugin for. The current plugin system is appreciated, but kind of cumbersome for most applications (requires additional macros/triggers).
This sort of SDK would take a lot of the load off of your as the community would be able to develop the simpler interfaces. This is the one area I've found PH to be a bit lacking in terms of it's competition.
