====== Gateway ======
The software to collect and decode the various packets transmitted by the different generations of weatherboxes. A module of the [[weatherbox::unified_software_team::start |Unified Software Team]].

**Gateway Repository**:
  * [[https://github.com/scel-hawaii/control-tower]]

----

[[ .: Fake and Bridged Mode ]]
===== Future Improvements =====
  * Utilize Socket Connections
    - For potential real-time data connection
    - Remove overhead of .csv files (current implementation w/alpha.scel-hawaii.org)
  * Improve Data Formatting for Forecasting Team
    - Parse Time field into separate fields
      - Day, Month, Year, Time
    - Unit Conversions

----
===== Goals (Fall 2016) =====
  * Collect incoming packets and input the data into database tables

===== Current Algorithm =====
    while no packets to process:
        wait for packets
    
    
    extract rf data from packet
    determine schema number
    If schema is 0
        decode as heartbeat packet
    else if schema is 1
        decode as apple packet
    else if schema is 2
        decode as cranberry packet
    else if schema is 3
        decode as dragonfruit packet
    else if schema is 5
        decode as gps packet
    
    Print data to stdout
    Add data to respective .csv file
    Write data to respective database table
