Outputing Data to PC

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on a project which requires data logging.
I would like to use I2C device (24LC16B) to log the data. However, I would also like to output the data to PC. I wonder if it is possible for me to output data stored into I2C device to PC?

Regards,
bbnqond

    Sure. Just read the data from the device into BS2 memory, then send it out the serial port to the PC. The quick-and-dirty method to read it on the PC is to capture it to a file using a terminal program. Alternatively, you could set up a file to capture it to Excel using PLX-DAQ:

    Using Hyperterminal as your terminal program can cause some grief. I have successfully used Jan Axelson's
    Com Port Terminal -·http://www.lvr.com/serport.htm#pccode·- and it is a good starting point. Microsoft has a more sophisticated terminal program available·in the Samples folder in Visual Basic 6.0.

    I use one called "Realterm". It seems to be able to do just about anything:
