Skye - Minimet - Weather Station Management & Live View

Integrated with legacy hardware utilising FTP the new system supports a live view of their weather station including bulk downloads and dynamic live view chart components

The proposed solution was to develop a dual application, one that would run within a docker container and consist of 2 parts, a web application for managing the clients and displaying data and an integrated FTP server in order to communicate with, and collect data from the legacy device which was limited to writing tabular data to an FTP server. The integrated FTP server interrogates FTP writes looking for the weather station data and writes this data into a MySQL server. The website uses client side JavaScript to frequently poll the server for the latest data values and uses Highcharts controls to visualise this data and update the charts live.
