NikosAny data logger is useless without an easy way to download recorded data. I'm considering the hardware design complete (for this model), so from now on I'm focusing on writing the firmware. In parallel, I'm writing a host computer program (python script) to setup the loggers before deployment and to download data in a usable format after deployment is complete. The script is available at the project's github. By necessity, I'm also developing the protocol of communication and data download, since I'm not aware of any standard or any open protocol used by already established software.
Anyone with knowledge of an existing protocol or interested to help out, please let me know and I'll be happy to work together or utilize any advice.

I thought about the same thing with my new logger. The way I would do it requires no extra software:
Hook it up to a computer/phone via Rx/Tx/GND and just let the logger itself write the data out to the serial. Just read it with an serial program like Hterm. Only thing which would be needed is some kind of initiator to tell the logger to send the logs.
Human readable format can be done on the fly by the logger itself before sending it via serial connection!
