I have an application that uses an ultrasonic transceiver to measure distance to objects and outputs a pulse width representation of the range to my PIC microcontroller over a single pin PWM input. The microcontroller commands the transceiver to make 6 measurements and stores the 6 results in EEPROM, averages the 6 measurements, then stores the average into EEPROM, and deletes the 6 individual measurements to save EEPROM space.
This data logging occurs every night at midnight and accumulates 31 averages over a 31 day period in 31 EEPROM WORD addresses.
At the beginning of each month I need to connect a PC to the PIC microcontroller (via Hyperterminal??) to read all 31 averages into the PC for storage/analysis in an EXCEL spreadsheet.
My problem is I can't figure out how to use Hyperterminal to read the accumulated EEPROM data residing in the PIC mictrocontroller's internal EEPROM. Does anyone have any PC software to do this or suggestions how I should accomplish this??
