Summary of change:
''' PDA use as a datalogger ''' Its been discussed before. However I'm a staunch advocate of the PDA as a solution for datalogging, basic display and out of bounds alerting. Why? Firstly and formostly a serial PDA is dirt cheap. I bought my last Cassiopiea for $120 (NZ, about $70US) including a full sized keyboard, modem, 64mb of CF memory and two serial cables. Hard to beat, and I know in the States and Europe they are even cheaper. Secondly its solid state. No moving devices. No abiltiy to head crash my datalogger while taking a jump at 160kph. Thirdly its easy to code. I'm most certainly not a programmer, I'm struggling with Java, however have already made an application to enumerate and display all serial interfaces on a device. Not hard at all, and you'll find its already been done quite a few times already. Fourth, I've already got them sitting there! I guess you are MembersPage/RedMist Can you edit preferences for wiki editing so your name shows up (needed every time you start using a new browser for wiki edits)? Btw, nice work with the logger specs. Thanks Marcell. Have done so, unfortunately my security settings were killing the cookie, I've added VEMS as a trusted site, should work now. I'll start up a CVS once I generate some workable code and learn how to use the CVS environment - start at GenBoard/FirmWare/CVSUsage
