Odometer for Electric Vehicle

[joeycao]

I think having a simple .txt file that saves the last odometer reading will be suffient to help you keep track of your data when you close the program.  Although there should probably be some user define logic that choose not to write to the file if the program stopped due to software/hardware error.

Chris:

I hope all is well. There have been very useful posts and I wanted to provide a summary here:

1. Using the VISA API to communicate with the instrument will teach students how to do Instrument Control which is very important.

2. Using Shift Registers with while loop with teach students how to store data and introduce them with passing data.

3. Storing the data to a file once the program is done will introduce them to File I/O. You could even read the data from the file when you start the program and use that value as the starting point for your shift register.

I hope this helps and please do not hesitate to post again.
