I thought it might be easier to code a program in a computer, rather than in a microcontroller or FPGA. The idea is to transfer the selected algorithm at a later stage, when I have a better understandig of the calculations involved.
At the moment, the program reads the data strings from the serial port and then parses the data. The program then optionally applies bias and converts the raw data to real values. I also quickly threw together a simple PID algorithm to give me an idea of the data I'm getting.
I will later implement proper algorithms, I just need to get my head around some heavy maths first.
I also plan to implement a charting / visualising option, and the ability to log various data to disk.
