Other uses for Model TS Text Streamer: This device can act like an RS232 serial logger. A small prepaid Android cell phone priced at
about $75 does not have to be phone activated. The phone would make an excellent small
recording device that can be either battery operated or wall mount power supply operated.
The user would have the advantage of the logging being made remotely, and being able to
see the serial data on the cell phone display. Seeing the data logged being displayed on the
screen provides valuable user feedback that the project is working.
The Model TS serial interface can be used to remotely monitor a sensor's data. A constant
stream of temperature readings from a temperature to RS-232 serial converter can be recorded
and viewed at a distance through a wall or container. Such sensors may include pressure,
humidity, light, vibration or voltage. A version of Model TS allows the user to count open-close
contacts and log/display the value in real time from a tablet or phone. Sensor examples are
shown at: Peripheral Sensors for Android
