Can you make your own input hardware device?

Answer by  Ronaldo91 (345)

Yes, the easiest way to do this is via the serial bus, there are breakout boards for serial input available to make this easier, and it is relatively simple to interact with devices via a digital serial output on the serial bus, alternatively there are some USB devices which can help with this, however speed is a major hindrance.

It is very possible to create your very own input device; but to be able to link up the device to a computer would require you to have a very good knowledge of programing to create the software for your created device, and to have a great understanding of how serial or other ports read data from the input device.
