Hi all,
So I've got a bit of a project that Im looking for some suggestions with.
Essentially, I have a data logger out on remote bit of property. Every day I drive out there and retrieve the stored data physically by serial. I figured, I can make up a little device that lets me wirelessly grab the data from the comfort of my car as a stop next to it.
What I was thinking:
- Solar powered battery pack for power supply
- Arduino to periodically grab the data from the data logger
- Bluetooth attachment for the arduino
- I drive past, connect my laptop through the bluetooth connection and download the data that the arduino grabbed earlier
- Have the arduino clear its memory after to save on memory space
I'm halfway through a Mechatronics Engineering degree so I'm familiar with these sorts of projects/ the ability to research and teach myself, but I'm looking for any advice, or any problems that you guys might think I'll run into.
Cheers
