SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on recording raw analog signals using an Arduino and circuit boards. The recommended approach involves utilizing an Analog-Digital Converter (ADC) to convert the analog signals into digital data, which can then be stored on an SD card. For input signals within a voltage range of 0-2V, the built-in ADC of the Arduino is suitable. Additionally, the LabJack U6 Pro is suggested for more advanced data logging needs, offering features such as variable ADC resolution and a wide voltage range.
