Data Logger Suggestions

Hello, 

I have been using a data logger in my tag that doesn't seem to be working for our needs any longer. I was wondering if anyone might be able to suggest one they use and like. I am looking for one that has at least two serial ports, on analog port, and that has its own internal clock. The one I am currently using has to be turned on and left on for the time to hold, and I am wasting battery life and memory. I realize this is a big list, but if anyone has any suggestions, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you for your help!




Hi Andrea,

The OpenLog Artemis might be an option. I haven't used one of these yet, but its what I immediately thought of. Built in real time clock and IMU that records to microSD. It has four 14-bit ADCs and I2C connectors for the 'Qwiic' or 'grove' sensor boards. I'm not sure if it has programmable on/off cycles with the clock but you may find an existing project that does this.
