Our BIB stuff goes through the printer port, not through the ULI.
The BIB is the interface box, which goes for around $75. It uses a wall plug for 9-v
power.
The BIB will run a sonic ranger, or a shaft encoder, or accept analog input in the
0-6v range (microphone, light sensor, temperature sensor, etc). The BIB also has
an onboard amplifier so it can take strain gauge signals and amplify them. The
amplifier can also be used to amplify signals from a magnetic field detector.
The software allows the analog input and shaft encoder to be used together, as in a
pendulum experiment with strain gauge and shaft encoder, or in a light diffraction
experiment where the encoder gives distance traveled, and the light sensor is the
analog input.
