Hello Guys, I’m Johnnie.
I’m new to the Arduino and new to these boards.
In my retirement I’ve recently returned to hobby electronics (having also done that professionally for 25+ years).
My Problem
I have an Mega 2560 that I’d like to press it into service as a DAQ unit. But I have no expertise with this sort of thing so seek advice to see if it’s easily possible.
I’m resonating LCR circuits in the audio band (and upto about 40kHz) with a swept frequency generator. I’d like to gather data from these experiments and store that data on my PC for later use. I have 4 different parameters I’m measuring that need gathering and storing. A couple are DC volts; a couple are AC volts/current. That latter two can be RMS to DC converted before logging. Their ranges are all less than 0-5Volts.
I very much need a ‘plug-and-play’ solution, here, because this is a means to an end for my project and only a small part of it. Though obviously, interesting I just don’t have the skill to work out the code, nor the time to experiment with hardware, etc, etc.
It is possible, please, to use the Arduino for data gather / store and how should I go about that?
Wisdom always appreciated.
