Electronics
- should be a PIC with USB and 8 x ADC
- power comes through USB
- USB A plug (?)
Software
- Device is addressed as a simple serial interface over USB
- allows to switch on/off each sensor (so that power drainage can be controlled)
- sends every 0.1 seconds a data block with latest data values
- User-Interface runs on the Freerunner
