The data from whatever you are measuring can be sent using a wireless link such as Bluetooth etc...

That's assuming the data doesn't need to be secure or is of a safety issue and is within range of about 50 metres.

As Spark said before, we advise on specific questions. If you need recommended teaching material, that is a possible, and likely available.

Leveles, read some of the topics on CR4 you will find a large number are fairly non-specific questions...

When you say 'we' please refrain from including the majority of posters in your category!!

Hello Electroman

Perhaps Leveles intended the "we" in the manner of "The Royal 'We' ".

Just a thought.

Meanwhile we await the reply from asishonline2000 with some clarifications and

Kind Regards....
