Sensor Recorder

Sensor Recorder is a software which records data measured from a sensor, processes it and then stores it in a local database, which is then ready for SOS to extract.

Description

When the program is run it will ask the user what sensors are connected, then create an object of each of those sensors, move them into their own threads so reading data can be done concurrently and so their timers don't interfere. After reading a line of data, it is formatted and then sent to the apropriate table in the database.

The layout is as follows:

• sensor_manager is the main programe which the user interacts with and creates the sensor objects, holds the threads which talk to the sensor reader programs, and communicates with the SQL query functions.
• sensor_factory creates the sensor object using the factory design pattern.
• SQL_queries is where all insert statements are contained in their own functions which are called by the appropriate sensor object.
• Config.ini contains the database access data as well as the sensors entered by the user.
• dummy_sensors is used to simulate sensor output, since we don't have access to all the actual sensors we are programming for.
• All other files are readers for specific sensors, which actually read and format the data from the sensor.
