Using microcontroller systems becomes a routine in various measurement and control tasks. Their wide availability together with a huge potential of extending their functionality by additional modules allows developing advanced measuring and monitoring systems by non-specialists. However, using popular example codes often leads the user to pass over or not to be aware of the limitations of the system and drawing too farreaching conclusions on the basis of incorrectly performed measurements This paper deals with the problem of choosing the right method for performing measurements using an acquisition system based on the budget Arduino UNO solution. The main assumption was to use the standard, widely available Arduino libraries. The work focuses on the scenario when data should be subject to time and frequency analysis in the later processing. The operating limits of the device were also determined depending on the data transmission method used. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
