I would like to log data from an anemometer over the next year or so, which led to buying an AXE110 datalogger and an RTC for it. The AXE110 arrived and I was hoping for a CD with some tutorials that resembled what I'm trying to do, but all I got was a little pamphlet with general info. There are wizards to set how many samples and when, but I'm afraid I need even more basic knowledge of how these things work.
Specifically, I'll have a train of pulses from a hall-effect sensor to work with. I'll need to count those pulses against time for a result that needs to be logged at set times. I'm sure an 18x can do that but I haven't a clue how to go about it ....
Ideally I would like access to more tutorials. Typing in a program and then altering it to see what happens is about the only way to get this stuff thru my thick skull. What I don't want is someone to write a program for me!
So , considering my entire PicAxe resume consists of making an LED flash on an 08M proto board, can someone steer me to a "PicAxe for Dummies" website?
