Good advice. I will incorporate those suggestions. Thank you!

UPDATE: Thanks again for the feedback! I did run through to check on those things you noticed. As IFAIK, the repeated statements all only happen once the $dev->lookfor() completes. That said, looking again made me realize that the sleep(1) which I ignored even after looking at how sleep worked( could not determine if it reduced allocated resourced on the system or not), could be changed to 14 seconds as long as the timeout for reading character was increased a bit. I also moved all the processing of getting things into the DB into its own sub. The result is that the increase in sleep time reduced cpu system resources from the aforementioned 1.27 down to less between .23 to .37 on a 1 minute average and 0.4 on a 10 minute average, and that is with htop running and two ssh sessions going. So thanks again! /huck for taking the time!

Update 1: Figured I would repost the code that I ended up here for posterity sake, and maybe helpful to someone else...

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use Modern::Perl; use Device::SerialPort::Arduino; use DBI; #use Proc::Daemon; use DateTime; use JSON; my $dbfile = "/home/wjw/weather_data"; my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:SQLite:dbname=$dbfile" ,"",""); my ($key,$val, $q, $sth, $rec_cnt, $char, $timestamp, $json); #################################### # Set up the serial port my $dev = Device::SerialPort->new("/dev/ttyUSB0") || warn "Can't open +/dev/ttyUSB0 $!"; my $debug = 0; #set to 1 if debug print statements +are to be displayed my $profile = 0; # set to '1' when running NYTProfile. + Limits run length... $dev->baudrate(115200); # you may change this value $dev->databits(8); # but not this and the two following $dev->parity("none"); $dev->stopbits(1); $dev->read_char_time( 0 ); # don't wait for each character $dev->read_const_time( 1500 ); # 1 second per unfulfilled "read" call #################################### while (1) { #Proc::Daemon::Init; #my $continue = 1; #$SIG{TERM} = sub { $continue = 0 }; #while ($continue) { # Poll to see if any data is coming in my $char = $dev->lookfor(); if ($char) { if ($debug == 1) { say "Raw input is -> $char"; } $rec_cnt ++; next if $rec_cnt == 1; # The first line incoming tends to b +e two lines combined, skip it. my $line = $char; chomp($line); if ($debug == 1) { say $line; } $json = decode_json($line); process_data(\$json); # now process the competed inc +oming json object, inserting it into DB } sleep(14); # the arduino sends data every 1 +5 second (currently).

...the majority is always wrong, and always the last to know about it...

A solution is nothing more than a clearly stated problem...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
