So what I'm looking is a software that translates when for example a circuit is closed, to a variable or a function in pc to use it in a programming language

Couple of options:
  • If you're using an embedded board like a Raspberry Pi or ODROID, they typically have what's called General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins. How you use these will depend on what the hardware is
  • You can use serial or parallel ports for this, but I'm not sure precisely how.
  • I'm sure there are add-in cards that do it.


  • What do you want it to do?

    windows device driver development kit should have various sample drivers for various input classes. You would have to decide on what method you wish to use to talk to your device. Old fashion methods would use hardwired methods, serial cable, USB. I would be using a wireless method. various mail order electronics websites will have various modules using what ever technology you might want and they come with drivers that you can access. just decide on constraints you have for your system, pick the tech and take a look at the cost to get the modules from a electronics supply. Wireless Ethernet, Bluetooth, laser, microwave, ...
    depends on the distance you want to go.
