Tech Log #011: Loglooper to MQTT broker
Derived a python program from convert_data.py to loop through an already processed Bowie log file, called loglooper. When it processes a line, it also sends the data to the MQTT broker. There’s a 1 second delay per line. The server was able to receive the data perfectly. The next step was to try to get this program to run continuously using nodejs forever. Originally encountered some difficulties related to the spinSleepTime and minUptime, which were changed from 1000 ms to 5000 ms. It’s now working continuously with forever. The next step will be to receive the data on the map and draw a dot. As well as transferring the python loglooper to the server to run on AWS.
