Raspberry Pi Forums

I have a raspberry pi B+ and was wondering if what I'm thinking about doing is not only possible but the simplest way.

I am wanting to transfer data collected by the raspberry pi from a linear potentiometer and store it in a database on my PC, using python. I then want to access this database and display the results in a GUI that I created in Java.

Doable. There are many posts on databases. Search for magpi database to find articles on using databases in Pi based projects.

You will run into processing power limitations if you are storing hundreds of thousands of measurements per second. A 1000 per second into a database should work. At 10,000 per second, you need a Pi 3, an SSD, and good code.

Thanks I'll take a look.
