Hello All
First time poster to the forum and absolute novice with Arduino so please be kind
I am involved in a experiment where we have a requirement to collect sensor data from a magnetometer and combine the readings with positional data from an RTK GPS receiver.
I have seen devices like the Sparkfun OpenLog which would seemingly be able to take the RS232 data stream from the device and log it directly to an SD card which is great. However what I'm trying to determine is if Arduino is the right tool to somehow combine the GPS data with the magnetometer sensor data so that when it reaches the OpenLog (or other suitable device) the CSV files have on each line (for example)
Reading 1 - Reading 2 - GPS Time - GPS Position etc etc
The sensors will be set to 10hz initially however will hopefully be up to 500hz-1khz in the future.
Of course i'm not asking for anyone to write the code etc. I'm purely investigating to see if Arduino is the right answer for this type of problem.
The sensors output their data on power up, as does the GPS unit which will ideally be the HERE+ RTK unit.
Any help and advice much appreciated
