Still searching for the problem with the serial data from the measurement system
No server admin would be happy about something like this. But here, I’m the one who decides, and I like it. Or, if truth be told, maybe I don’t like it that much either, but if I eventually get some kind of clue from this, I might even end up loving it.
For anyone curious, it’s (among other things) the value below that flies by
- A anemometer that goes to a counter on a microprocessor ->
- a VSCP event is sent over CAN –>
- The message is received by a microprocessor and converted into a serial protocol –>
- The serial protocol is parsed (what we see here) and converted into a VSCP event. –>
- The VSCP event is sent to a server over tcp/ip –>
- node-red reads it from the server over tcp/ip –>
- Code calculates the wind speed –>
- Presents and stores it
The art of making the simple complicated, basically. That’s kind of my job, in a way. You have to imagine that counter is sitting in an industrial environment on the other side of the globe. If you want to try to understand why everything has to be so damn complicated, you just have to stick your head in a bucket and go “hmmmm… and wonder about it all“
