Samraj’s Status Report for 3/27/21

This week I worked with Reid on getting the OBD-II data stream functioning properly. We had some issues with the data stream being cut short due to a buffer issue and we were able to target the issue to a header pin that was not connected. Besides this, the rest of the scripts are setup to log the data to a file to be stored on the database and seem to be functional. Once we resolve this issue, we believe our stream will be working properly and be ready for integration.  Aside from working on this, I also spent some time working on the realtime notifications for the website. Since we constantly have to be reading and updating the page, I setup a MySQL database connected to the website, so we can simply use a PHP script to send the data at a set interval to the database which will display on the website. Since we are on a shared network, this is quite simple and is more efficient than our previous idea of using the AWS iOT Core which is far more complicated to setup. Using this, I was able to send some test data to be displayed, but I need to work on getting it to display faster and in a more visible style. Next week, I plan to continue this and also continue helping Reid on the OBD streaming.
