Pulse Counter Capabilities #2

Closed szbrooks closed 4 years ago

szbrooks commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I'm interested in using your device to take my prototype pulse counter into production, I have a few questions:

  1. Can it support int64?

Arduino's allow for uint64_t which will behave like an int64

  1. How can I connect this information of the PLC to a computer?

I'd like to make a virtual serial connection and continuously send data to a program on the computer, is this feasible with your device?

Thank you!

The P1AM-100 uses the same microcontroller (SAMD21) as the Arduino MKR family and other similar boards.

It should allow a uint64_t. If you ever been to you can check by installing the board package and compiling code.

The board signs on to a PC as a virtual serial port that can be communicated with like any normal PC serial port.
