Reading data from climate logger TFA 30.3015 and outputting it in CSV format.
Design goals of tfa-reader:
License: GNU GPL v2
Use Mercurial to pull from Sourceforge:
hg clone http://tfa-reader.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/tfa-reader/tfa-reader
TFA Climate Reader uses cmake to manage the builds. You also need to have libpopt.
cd tfa-reader
cmake .
make
Example usage is:
./tfa-climate-reader /dev/ttyS0 > mydata.csv
For testing and debugging purposes, you can write the data that is read from the logger into a file:
./tfa-climate-reader /dev/ttyS0 --savebinary=myDumpFile
You can then use that file as input, to avoid reading the climate logger for every test:
./tfa-climate-reader myDumpFile --binary
TimeDataPlotter was specifically written to plot data like the one produced by tfa-reader!
tfa-climate-reader /dev/ttyS0 | timedataplotter
For a setup with one external sensor, showing just the temperature (columns 1 and 3):
tfa-climate-reader /dev/ttyS0 | timedataplotter --leftAxis=1,3
A program tfa-gnuplot-adapter is included that converts the csv values into a datafile and GnuPlot commands
Typcial usage:
tfa-climate-reader /dev/ttyS0 | tfa-gnuplot-adapter --pause=30 | gnuplot
This will plot the graph and show it for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, gnuplot will close.
To avoid the closing, you can pipe the commands into a file and then invoke gnuplot for that file:
tfa-climate-reader /dev/ttyS0 | tfa-gnuplot-adapter > gnuplot.commands && gnuplot gnuplot.commands -
This will write the commands into gnuplot.commands and invoke gnuplot with it. After the commands are executed, gnuplot will wait for further commands on stdin.
A program tfa-sql-adapter is included that converts the csv values into SQL statements. This can be piped into a database.
Typcial usage:
tfa-climate-reader /dev/ttyS0 | tfa-sql-adapter --table=MyTableName | mysql --user=myUserName --password=mySqlPassword --database=climate
Creating a suitable table:
tfa-sql-adapter --create --table=MyTableName | mysql --user=myUserName --password=mySqlPassword --database=climate
