I have a measurement equipment (precise voltmeter) which allows USB connection to computer. The manufacturer only supplies Windows application with limited data logging capability. There is FT232 and FTDI protocol used. So, I have decoded entire command set and data reading. Now I am able to fully control the device and read measured data by Python script.
I need this equipment light and portable supporting data logging. I do not want to carry laptop. I am looking for a microcontroller which I can connect to the voltmeter over USB. I am only experienced with Arduino. Any suggestions for suitable microcontroller platform/model?
Requirements:
- USB host port for the equipment connection
- Python support (FTDI library)
- ability to connect SD card module
- ability to connect small display (perhaps Nokia 5110)
- preferably small, cheap, simple to use
