Hey all, I’m wondering if anybody can help point me in the right direction with some custom log analysis and alarming I’m trying to put in place with my CarPC.
Here’s my situation, I have an engine management (EM) system which monitors my cars ECU and is interfaced with my CarPC. I connect to the EM system via hyperterminal and dump real-time log data to the screen. I would like to put some kind of software, script, API, something in place which will parse the log data and present an audible alarm (sound file) on a certain value, that value being knock (detonation).
My obstacles are;
- Options for capturing the real-time log data as it’s presented to hyperterminal.
- Parsing the log data for the given value (i.e. all 0’s until knock is detected then value is 1)
- Executing a sound file when it occurs.
Anybody with some direction or general advice please respond. All comments appreciated…
Thanks…
