Can anybody give me advice on capturing a raw binary data stream into a PC?
I'm working on a project to develop an instrumentation receiver for
monitoring
signal strength from a number of remote transmitters. The front end (tuner,
mixer, digitizer, etc.) is working pretty well, but the next step is giving
me trouble. I will be shifting out data from an A/D converter, and need to
get it into a PC somehow, time tag each sample, store records in a logging
file and every few days read the accumulated stuff out from a host computer
(FTP or Telnet over the Internet, I'm thinking). There will be several of
these data-gathering stations operating unattended, spread out over several
miles. Data files should be no more than a few Mbytes.
I thought this would be straightforward, but I can't come up with a simple
way
to handle the PC interface. Is it really so difficult to do this, or am I
missing something? I hope it's the latter, and somebody here can point me in
the right direction.
I'm more a hardware guy than a programmer, so I'm looking for something
simple.
A suitable MCU interfaced to the PC via RS-232?
