I am looking for advice on making my own USB adapter to datalog. Something similar to the hondalog unit http://www.moates.net/product_info.p...products_id=79

I know i could fork out $30 for it, but i'd rather make one

Thanks

 

Yup, it's easy.

If you actually design a PCB board, it'll end up costing about the same or more for a single prototype run. If you're going to do it some ghetto way, it can be done cheaper than $30, but don't expect reliability.

If you don't know what components to use and whatnot, don't bother. If you're trying to learn, choose a project that will actually land you some experience. This is way too basic.

 

you wouldnt happen to have that circuit schematic available would ya?

 

If the whole point of this is learning you should definitely design your own for experience.
