Lightbulb Actually...

The phidgets are USB controlled, all the interfaces sit inside the 25.0 bag with the laptop

Ken,
I needed a cable that would go up and down with the cs shaft, ribbon cable just didnt cut the mustard. I have 30 wires, 15 are for the VGA monitor, the other 15 supply power, video A and Video B (rear camera / GPS) horn - USB - alarm led power (I should upload the excel sheet showing the wiring diagram)

The phidgets have all kinds of great interfaces both I/O so I can get temp of batteries, voltage monitoring, Turn on and off as many lights / bling as I want (i can expand the sys) and I can still use the seg during the day without the Monitor even being attached, if I choose.

With the computer, I have full internet / bluetooth / Music / AND.
its really exciting (well to me) And the segway is the prep for when I get my new car (A Honda Element) and I'm planning on "Pimping My Ride"
