I’m new to microcontrollers, but have plenty of programming experience. Could you suggest a datalogging solution for me? I need to input several digital states, output several digital control bits, and store timestamp and digital inputs to a thumb drive.
Does such an m/c exist? Perhaps one with an integrated datetime chip?
Many thanks!
So this is a kind of expansion board for one of the microcontroller boards? I’m not clear on this.
Hi Icancanu and welcome to the RobotShop Community forum.
There is a module that sees to have been made to suite your very own specific needs like a glove (you are very lucky: The SeeedStudio Stalker.
This data-logging microcontroller is based on the popular Arduino so it should be very easy to use and program. It also has cool features such as a button cell battery holder and XBee headers for remote operation.
The Stalker is a microcontroller in itself. It is basically the same thing as an Arduino but it has extra features such as an XBee port for data telemetry and a button cell battery holder for uninterrupted operation. This two features are usually very useful in sensor network nodes and data-logging applications.
Also, if you are planning to log massive amounts of data, the SD Card Reader Shield could be a welcome accessory for this microcontroller.
