Hello.

Hi Dave,

Absolutely - the Advantech USB 4750 is a great card, with 16 ins and outs on a neat breakout box with screw terminals instead of a D type, so a lot easier to wire onto as well. It's a straightforward card to install as well, just install the Advantech drivers and management software and plug in the USB cable and thats you up and running.

A lot of people have started using these, particularly when using thin 1U PC's that have little PCI card space.

If you drop sales@psquared.net a line they can get you pricing info etc.

Peter - that's welcome information, thank you.

Hi all,

Hello,

Beacuse Myriad works with a standard joystick input, you have a lot of options if you just want to add fader starts. If you need output also (say to switch an external source) then you are back to the advantech range.

A bit cheaper option is the Joybox which is designed for SEN use to control software via disabled switches. They are about £120 and we can supply them if needed. We can confirm they work with Myriad. http://www.sensorysoftware.com/119.html

But any USB joystick will work so you could just buy a cheap USB joystick or controller and pull it apart to use the switches to add fader starts.
