Hi Im new to PIC and electronics in general, having come from a software background. Im looking to design something which can sample 90 wires for the presence or absence of a DC voltage (50v, but can be taken down to say 5v with a voltage divider if needed). It then needs to store a bit in memory for each wire indicating if the wire was live or not and then interface to a computer over USB so the computer can read the bits. Having done some research it seems to me that a PIC based system is probably the best way to go, but I was wondering whats the best way to interface the 90 wires to the PIC? All the example projects I can find so far interface to a much smaller number of wires.
