I'm recently became interested into microcontrollers, so I do not know much about it. I was looking for something like a board that has easy interfacing the computer and that allows me to do some nice calculations with signals. I want to make something that does the following:
I have a black box from which I can only get 4 analog signal at a rate of 2us ( this signals are my inputs ).
I need to read those inputs and change then to digital ( basically, I need to have ADC -- i know what it is but do not know how to work it yet )
After I get my signals ready, I need to do all kinds of processing: frequencies, energy, stability, etc...
THE HARDEST PART
Make a GUI that allows the users to get the inputs just by connecting the 4 cables giving the analog signals, click a button and get the results. ( i.e the default calculator in the computers accessories folder )
Can any one give me any comments? Is arduino the best board to do this? any recommendations of what to buy? can i execute anything programmed in arduino from an intefaceable code made in c#?
thanks a lot for your reply. if i get the circuit modified ( the blackbox) and get the output to be at 1ms, could i do it with arduino?? i still do not know if i can link arduino with a program made in something line c#. Can any body recommend a suitable DSP?
