Hello all, Sorry I got called into work way to early. I have been thinking about what everyone had said. Being on limited storage is not fun when you have to store a lot and you have to figure out ways to make it all fit.
I came up with maybe a simple way instead of logging everything for a 1to7 days worth of logs. I think for me the most simple way to go is just log the current one and display it. I will create a mysql database to log more if I need to that way I know I'm not running out of space. For me this is the better way to go. I know there is cautions in doing this.
What happens if you lose connection to the database. Yeah same thing if If the external storage goes bad. I lose everything too. I thought about the pros and cons. For this way I think it is a better way for me. I'm exploring all options and Yes I will be doing sampling as well before storing it to the database. I'm looking at that more closely because I have never done that before. I will update this post in a couple of days.
Another pro about putting it into a mysql database is that I can timestamp it as well. If I was to do it locally to the arduino itself It would of taking more space up. this way I can have it all go to the database.
