First off let me say hi, I'm new here. This seems to be a really nice resource, I'll likely be spending a great deal of time here. I love electronics but haven't had any formal training. I work on computers and am mostly paid to swap complete boards, I do occasionally get into replacing some capacitors or the likes and really enjoy "something different".
I've been asked to help tie two machines together that aren't really intended to work together. We have one device that can be programmed to beep during different functions. We have another device that performs logging that has 5 input channels for logging different things.
What we are hoping to do is is put together an interface that will count the beeps and create output to the logging device in one of it's 5 input channels. i.e. speaker beeps once, interface sends signal to logging channel 1. speaker beeps twice, interface sends a signal to logging channel 2.
Any help pointing me in the right direction would be great.
Thanks in advance for your time.
