Tooling:
- ubxtool: can configure a u-blox 8 chipset, parses its output & will convert it into a protbuf stream of GNSS NAV frames + metadata Adds 64-bit timestamps plus origin information to each message
- xtool: if you have another chipset, build something that extracts NAV frames & metadata
- navtrans: transmits GNSS NAV frames emitted by ubxtool to a collector. Performs some best effort buffering & will reconnect if needed. UPDATE -> will be part of ubxtool
- navrecv: receives GNSS NAV frames and stores them on disk, split out per sender. UPDATE -> part of navnexus
- navstore: tails the file stored by navrecv, puts them in LMDB. UPDATE -> part of navnexus
- navstream: produces a stream of NAV updates from all sources, with a few seconds delay so all data is in. Does this with queries to LMDB
- navweb: consumes these ordered nav updates for a nice website
- navinflux: puts "ready to graph" data in influxdb - this is the first step that breaks "store everything in native format". Also does computations on ephemerides.
- grafana dashboard: makes pretty graphs
The transport format consists of repeats of:
- Four byte magic value
- Two-byte frame length
- A protobuf frame
The magic value is there to help us resync from partially written data.
The whole goal is that we can continue to rebuild the database by rerunning 'navstore' and 'navinflux'.
Big TODO
- Oddity of ephemeris age in doppler graph (possibly wider)
- Navnexus permanence
- Semantics definition for output of Navnexus
- Idempotency and retransmit by ubxtool
ubxtool
- Will also spool raw serial data to disk (in a filename that includes the start date)
- Can also read from disk
- Careful to add the right timestamps
