Re: Using the TI LaunchPad from your KoP

If you're going to have a computer next to the data logger that's not a bad idea. Every LaunchPad has back channel serial that can be used to send data back to the computer pretty easily. C# is pretty easy to cobble some kind of interface together in, but you can also just use a serial terminal and copy the data to a txt or csv for processing from there. Some of the terminal program (I use RealTerm for this) can dump everything it receives to a txt natively, which might be sufficient.

If you're already familiar with the TMS2xxx devices, I would stick with that and use the back channel. If you do want to move to WiFi, the CC3200 LP can be used to stream data back over the network pretty easily, but you would have to setup a socket server or something on the PC side.
