Hi,
This is a project for a potato farm. We have test plots that we eventually plan on harvesting a collecting data on. We have 10 conveyor belts that we will run these potatoes on. What we would like to do is have IR sensors at each belt counting the number of potatoes from that belt. We would like to then send that data to a PC (to excel preferably, but a tsv file also works). I understand this can be done using an Arduino or something similar, but I have little to no knowledge on micro controllers. Any help would be appreciated.
