I am interested in a cheap way to monitor some slowly changing voltages (read: DC) in a piece of test equipment. 8-bit resolution is fine. I can scale the voltages to the 0-1 VDC range (or similar) using resistor networks if I need to. Does anyone know if a Soundblaster is a reasonable way to do this? Can I get continous DC DAC output from the soundblaster? Are there any ADC/DAC boards that are much cheaper than $75 or so? They'd have to be considerably cheaper, since if the Soundblaster can do the job, I'd get one and use it for other things too.
