Hi Dominique,
you are right, we are only looking onto the USB connection regarding the Phidgets. I could check with our development if we have a chance to integrate this Phidget board into the WD,but this might take a while.
We also have the chance to add custom features to the WD for special projects, but for this our sales team would need to send you a quote, since we will need to charge for the development time.
The other alternative for your installation would be our Sensor Link. This would allow to connect industrial sensors to the WD. This can be either an encoder or also simple on/off switches. Maybe this would work for your installation as well.
Or another idea, but a bit around the corner. We can read out the Phidget RFID reciever. So you could use one reciever on each wheel, connecting a RFID tag on the back of the wheel. As soon as you rotate the wheel the RFID tag will be in front of the reciever and this can trigger the WD. Just a thought, no idea if that will make you happy....
best regards
Patrick
