The original purpose of this project was to take counter values from a serial port on one computer and load into a database. Initially, there was to be an intervening UDP or TCP/IP client-server interface.
However, in the process, we:
- Started using a serial-to-ethernet adaptor, which now acts as the server. (This version is found in /s2eChecker/)
- Can access the database through a network connection from another machine. Though we haven't implmeneted this, this means the server stuff isn't really necessary. Though it was still valuable learning experience.
The two python versions are considered complete.
The first version used UDP and a either a SQL or Influx database.
This has been tested between two local machines.
The versions here are in some sense both done and not.
We explored setting up and using TCP/IP and UDP connections.
But have not estabilished database connections.
