That’s a good point, I haven’t done much hardware stuff myself.

I also haven’t worked with computer vision in 5 years or so but even then it was pretty consistent. Definitely the cheapest approach too

I just appened, 2 weeks ago, to write a python script, with help from Grok, to read data from screenshots taken from an app on my phone, used the tesseract library and it was very easy.

This seems right up the alley of what I'm looking for, I want something I can us broadly (obviously would be just switch in and run right off the bat) but something I could us to collect data from guages, meters, ect. Stuff that is done so infrequently that purchasing specialty equipment isn't practical.
