Abstract
A device and method for managing external sensors are disclosed. The device comprises at least one embedded processor and a memory device and at least one bus controller that can be used by the embedded processors to communicate with external sensors. The embedded processor includes a mechanism to receive a control input to retrieve raw data from at least one sensor external to the device. The embedded processors may include another mechanism to receive a control input interrupting the embedded processors at regular intervals of time to retrieve raw data from at least one sensor external to the device.
