    Do you mean actually build something like this? Simulate it? Use an external device to get input? Can you give us a bit more information?

    (Also moved from API forum for now)

    You would need a digital breath analyzer with an output port (something akin to a usb port, which if it exists is going to be massively expensive), which would subsequently plug into a laptop that is always running (which must be plugged into the car, probably through the cigarette lighter plug).

    Frankly, it's overkill. Simple robotics could solve this problem a lot easier. And if you and your friends have enough extra money to throw around to try to make this work, i know of a friendly forum responder who could use a new car...

    You should check with the device manufacturer. They provide APIs for interfacing their device with your program.

    well, if you get something to plug into the computer that you can blow in and test the air preassure then you wont get problems... but the only problems you will have is to get the hardware.
