Hi all,
As part of a work/college project, I want to take the digital output of a digital dial micrometer and interface it with a computer. I then want to be able to log these results somehow.
How the data is output is well documented here: https://hackaday.io/project/511-dig...ing-dial-indicator-to-computer-using-pic-chip
So the output of the micrometer is in the form of six 4-bit nibbles.
My question is, what would be they best platform for reading and interpreting this data? I am complete noob to micro controllers and programming so I'm looking for something that is beginner friendly.
Currently I'm thinking of :
ARduino
PIC
PICAXE
Raspberry Pi
Is there any reason any of these would or wouldn't be suitable?
What would you recommend?
I am interested in the raspberry PI as it might remove the need to set up a whole computer, if I can log the results to an SD card, or over a network.
Thanks in advance,
Ewan
