If you're going down this rabbit hole (and it's a deep hole!), here's
a fairly complete guide to building these things:

You'd want to make something for it that'd actually be grippable, and

dump the data over a serial line, for example).

It's certainly not a 'buy this thing and plug it in' solution.
