I have a little experiece with Visual Basic 3.0, but I have not written code in quite a while. I would like to write a stop watch program that would get inputs from external photoelectric sensors. The sensors will be placed 200 feet apart on a pond to measure top speeds of radio controlled boats. Is this possible? Would there be any other hardware needed to link the photoelectric sensors to the computer? I assume there might be a piece of hardware that plugs into a USB port and then the sensors can be linked up? Thanks for any help.
