NevadaMark, DanM,
Thanks!
Not sure about the sampling rate but I am using STM32F103CB so I assume I should be fine. As for analyzing and leveraging the data, I am still working on a solution. Currently, I am pulling the data onto the web into my website for storage and viewing. I am not sure what and how much data but the objective is to know when equipment is "on" under load then when the behavior of the equipment gradually changes and then exceeds a certain threshold, an alarm will be triggered.
DanM, thanks for the input! I will check out the maintenance forum!
