Get sensor information (variable resistance) to use in web application

[king.oslo]

Hello there,

 

What is a sensible way to get the resistance from a temperature sensor circut to use in a web application?

 

Thank you.

 

Kind regards,

Marius

Depending on how you are harvesting the data there may be several options.  I have written apps that gather telemetry data from a serial connection in VB and C#.  Many probe attachments will convert analog data to a serial stream.  You can use other languages, these were the most expedient.  The device is polled at regular intervals and stored in a simple text file, then FTP'd to any kind of server. You can go from there on formatting, putting the text in a db, aging the data, etc. Things to consider are taking analog data and converting it to digital, streaming it to a collecting device (probably a pc or local server) and shipping either formatted data or raw data to the ultimate web server, probably by FTP.  This might give you a start
