PTAI Embedded Systems Simulator

This is a data simulator for the PTAI Embedded Systems project. It is designed to simulate the data that would be sent from the embedded system to the ThingsBoard server. It creates a function, and creates arbitrary data with specified error rates. It then sends the data to the ThingsBoard server.

Usage

~$ python3 main.py --function_type=[FUNCTION_TYPE] --error_rate=[ERROR_RATE] --frequency=[FREQUENCY] --duration=[DURATION]

Environmental Variables

Create a .env file in the root directory of the project. Not all the variables are required, but the ones that are not provided with environmental variables will need to be provided as command line arguments.
