Software — Server, Analysis, Viewers, On-board Maths

Off-buoy WII5 software — the server that ingests satellite data, the analysis tools, the web viewers, and the on-board maths code.

Sample position analysis output produced by the offline tooling.

Everything that doesn’t run on the buoy itself: the satellite-side server, offline analysis tooling, web-based viewers, and the on-board maths code that runs on the Linux maths-CPU host.

  • Firmware → see Buoys → Firmware for the C++ buoy-side code.
  • Server — receives data from Iridium / satellite, decodes, stores.
  • Analysis — offline tools to review and assess archived data.
  • Viewers — web-based dashboards showing real-time and historical data.
  • Onboard Data Processing — on-buoy maths that turns raw acceleration + GPS into a small wave-statistics payload before transmission.
  • Other — inventory of the wider WII-family repositories (earlier buoys, dashboards, test rigs, data archives). None individually assessed yet — ask if any sound useful and we’ll see what’s possible.
Server

Server that receives Iridium / satellite data from buoys, decodes, stores, and exposes it to viewers.

Analysis

Offline tools to review and assess archived buoy data.

Viewers

Web-based dashboards showing real-time and historical buoy data.

Onboard Data Processing

On-board maths and signal processing — turns raw acceleration and GPS into a small wave-energy / period / direction payload that fits inside an Iridium short-burst message.

Other WII Software

Inventory of WII-family repositories — buoy firmwares, servers, dashboards, maths code, test rigs, and data archives. Possibly available on request; none of them have been individually assessed for release yet.

Firmware

The buoy firmware is documented under Buoys → Firmware. This page is a sidebar pointer.
