Hi
What is the best way to send a signal from a PC? Ideally, I could use a USB output, as these are so common. A simple on-off would suffice, and if possible one that could come from a Flash interface. I would like to create a control panel on screen, that could actuate a PIC circuit connected by a lead. (Or wireless - now that would be interesting, bluetooth TX/RX. Wouldn't know where to start - would you?)

For example, I could get a Flash swf to act like a timer, turning an output on and off at specific times, eg bells, or security lights.

Many thanks for any assistance :)
