Abstract

In Star Trek, the characters used tricorders to capture data. The technology we have today is not as advanced as that in Star Trek, but still very amazing. The next step in this book is to start using this technology to obtain scientific information. This chapter covers information that is very important for someone just starting with either the Arduino or Raspberry Pi and provides a few easy methods to save data using them. This is called data logging and is useful to save the information to be utilized at a later date. The STEM principles in this chapter include
