A suitable PIC can handle that job -- no problems.

sorry everyone I have no idea about any of these or how I could make it work!!

do a search?

Anyone care to fill me in?

Thanks

edit: for the Phidgets, what program or plug-in would display it? Where does it plug in again?

well, if you are using a laptop and it is the laptops battery voltage u wanna show, you could use mbm5 to get the voltage from the battery i think.

nope, regular PC.

The reason I want this feature is because I am running 2 batteries. I want to know the voltage of the auxilary and primary batteries
