AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding an affordable data acquisition (DAQ) solution compatible with PocketPC 2003 Toshiba e805 and WinCE 4.2 NEC Mobilepro 900c devices. Users are advised to consider PCI boards and check for compatibility with CF I/II and PCMCIA cards. Recommendations include contacting the instrument manufacturer for PCMCIA options and verifying support for Windows CE with DAQmx software. A specific eBay listing for a National Instruments DAQCard priced at $445 is mentioned, highlighting that similar products from NI can exceed $1000. The need for sensors to log data is also noted as a challenge.

Hi !
Happy New Year !
Now to the question :)
I am looking for a cheap DAQ for my PocketPC 2003 Toshiba e805 or for WinCE 4.2 NEC Mobilepro 900c. Eventually the DAQ can be a PCI board.
The Toshiba accpets CF I/II cards and the NEC - CF I/II and PCMCIA cards.
Every suggestion, opinion, etc is welcome !
Also if someone can recommend an online retailer - feel free to share !


Thanks !

i would contact the manufacturer of the instrument that you are taking measurements from to see if it has an option for PCMCIA.

The price was $445 at ebay. NI seemed to be selling PCMCIA cards for over $1000.

This table of supported devices for DAQmx software doesn't have column for Windows CE, but DAQmx software itself does have a Windows CE version. It might be wise to contact NI or do further research before buying, to make sure the device is supported on your operating system.

That is the problem :) I have the device that logs the data, but not the sensors :)

This week, I saw a documentary done by the French called Les sacrifiés de l'IA, which was presented by a Canadian show Enquête. If you understand French I recommend it. Very eye-opening. I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
