Energy-consumption Data to a database for charts ect.

hello everyone

I´ve made a energy-"meter", where I can see the energy-consompution for each hour (Data is logged to a SD-card). Now I need a way, to see these data, and a way to do automaticly charts etc....

Are there somebody here, who have experience with putting data to a external database such as mySQL, fra the Arduino project??

I need some comments, what is easiest for a Arduino newbie to made som visualisation ?? Knowledge about other look-a-like projects ??

I have an Arduino with Ethernet shield making GET requests to a PHP script on a server. That script writes to a MySQL database.

what is easiest for a Arduino newbie to made som visualisation ?

The visualization will NOT be done on an Arduino. It will be done on a PC, which makes the question NOT an Arduino question.

Been there, done that.

I suggest taking a look at the tutorials at Cosm.com. They have some ready to use code for the arduino + Ethernet shield combination. What is nice about Cosm is that they do the visualization and data storage for you. Now owned by Google so the usual disclaimers apply.

Btw, how are you collecting the power data? Dedicated power chip, general purpose ADC, or pure arduino happiness?
