Abstract
An interface device is interposed between a control server and a controlled device to facilitate communications between the control server and the controlled device. The interface device receives control signals from the control server and relays those signals to the controlled device. Furthermore, the interface device receives sensor readings from the controlled device and forwards them in suit to the server. The control signals may be input into the interface device over a digital connection (e.g., USB connection) and output over an analog channel.
