Sending data to a PC

[rwfurness]

I am wanting to design a data logging system based on a PICAXE microcontroller. I intend to use the i2c functionality to interface to a real time clock and a number of digital temperature sensors and EEPROM memory. I think I just about understand enough to construct and program the system. However, I am at a loss how to retrieve the data from the EEPROM and get it into a spreadsheet on a PC for analysis. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Google selmaDAQ.

All you will have to do is get the data (READ command), and send it to the computer (serxt).

Look those commands up in the manual.

The August and September issues of Nuts & Volts magazine had an article about a PICAXE-18X data logger that used SelmaDAQ to export data to Excel. You can download (for a small fee) back issues from www.nutsvolts.com. Alternately, they sell a years worth of issues on CD.

Or if you know about coding in VBA in Excel, I posted this a while ago http://www.picaxeforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=10367

I have had good results with it.
