Implementing a Data Logger with the 16-bit Micro Experimenter

摘要

Previous Nuts & Volts articles have presented a series of demos with an overview of the 16-bit Micro Experimenter (Experimenter for short), its hardware features and C libraries for LCD displays, pushbuttons, and EEPROM and ADC operation. Now it's time to roll up our sleeves and put together a real working application. This article will use what we've learned so far to build a stand-alone data logging application using the Experimenter.rnA data logger is very useful in experiments where long-term logging of time stamped data is needed. Imagine collecting and storing temperature readings throughout your house every 10 minutes over a four week period; understanding heating and/or cooling efficiencies; or measuring the voltage output from a solar collector every hour over six months to identify the best placement.
