I'm working on a project that will use a Raspberry pi pico w to display the minutes per day -- and per month -- that a furnace has run. Though it's not finished yet, I have it working pretty well at displaying the data on an LCD display and also on a web page that can be viewed on a browser. The next step I'd like to do is log the data, daily, and download it to a PC through the wifi.
The web page looks something like this (crude, but it works for now):And I'm saving the data every night (or every minute as a test) by writing a log file:which looks like this:

How to get the log file out of the pico? I can read the file line by line and output it through the terminal shell in Thonny while it's connected, but when the pico is running on its own I don't see a way to access the log file.2. How to download the log file, using HTML (or is there a better way?) Any suggestions on how to do this, or better ways, are appreciated. Thanks.Statistics: Posted by JKJ — Sat Nov 23, 2024 3:53 pm — Replies 0 — Views 15
