Dirty Jobs

Arduino vs. CPU

One decision we had to take was: Who does the job(s)?

With well over 16 inputs that have to be dealt with 'quasi' simultaneously it worth the thought.

You could either let the Arduino grab ALL the inputs in it's loop and dump it on the Serial interface OR let the CPU ask for a very Specific input.

We chose the latter for the obvious speed reason.

Language

We decided to use Python for the sensor interface part and some of the graphing.
