Hi,
..I read on the internet that Hyperterminal requires UART
Hypertermnal doesn´t require UART. It requires a (vrtual) COM port or an TCP/IP winsock communication.
(BTW: I found this out by simply starting hyperterminal)
Do I still use Hyperterminal for Wifi communication?
It depends on your ethernet prortocol.
* You may use RFC2217 standard and a virtual com port with hyperterminal
* you may use some raw winsock communication with hyperterminal
* you may use any other proprietary protocol (without hyperterminal)
**************
1.Read from the four sensors every 250ms and display the results on 7-segment displays
... is just informative here? (and not part of the discussion)
3.Save the results as a log file in a format such as 'Sensor1: 56,67,78.../ Sensor2: 24,35,45...'
This is quite unusual.
I´m not sure if "Sensor1:" stands for a specific file, or a line in a file.
This means the PC side needs to be "intelligent" somehow.
It needs to recieve the data, then divide the message and add the value for sensor(x) at the and of line (or file) of sensor(x).
The usual way is one line for each transmitted dataset (time)....and a column for each sensor.
Then you just append the received message to the file, without prior processing.
