Data Acquisition help on the software side

nola

I·programmed a BS2 that successfully reads the values of various humidity and temp sensors.··Im looking for the most efficent way to extract the data from the·EEPROM and get it into a Database where I can do extensive logging and calc..·Can anyone provide me w/ some ideas? I was thinking of using JAVA & MySQL to get my data onto·my machine, using the· Communications class along w/ JDBC.· Then using PHP to access the DB so I can make· "nice" interface.
If anyone has any ideas, or if you have done something like this before, please hit me back w/ any comments, suggestions, criticisms, sample code...rather than wasting alot of time, I wanna make the best first step

Im not sure if this is an appropriate place to post this, but I figured it was worth a shot (newb here)
thanks in advance

Nola,

You could write your program to output the data to the PC at the press of a button, or after a restart when data has been collected. If you can open a serial port you can get it right from the programming port on the BASIC Stamp. Take care.

If you are badly stuck - I would be able to knock a routine together to datalog for you ...

So from what I can understand of your application you want to send data serially from the stamp (serout) ??
So you require an application on a pc that commits the data to a database when it receives it ..


options:
1)VB6 app writing to Access DB
2).NET app writing to SQL DB

or as a really quick and dirty option

3) vb6 app appending a text file
