RFC: Documentation of data paths into the uploader

[th122]

Been fiddling with mermaid for documentation of configuration options and data paths.

Any errors are my own - please comment if there's anything I got wrong or should change.

Data Path

Medtronic Enlite sensor ➔ Guardian™ 2 Link transmitter ➔ MiniMed™ 640G insulin pump ➔ (2.4 radio) ➔ Bayer Countour Next Link 2.4 ➔ (USB-OTG) ➔ Android device ➔ 600SeriesAndroidUploader ➔ Nightscout||xDrip||AndroidAPS

Graphics

unfortunately, Github doesn't seem to render Mermaid (Gitlab does). So here's source and a screenshot... ( I did another one dealing with the xDrip/AndroidAPS part, but it seems better to keep them modular, so I just added a hint of the connections outbound)

This looks great, @th122. The only amendment I can think of is that the sensor can be an Enlite 1/2 or Guardian 3 sensor (and the transmitter can be the Guardian Link 3 as well as Guardian Link 2). The comms between 6x0G and CNL is also 802.15.4. I should probably clean up the wiki, and include this diagram in it ;)

[snowstorm0182]

This might be offtopic. As you added hints of outbound links after the uploader, do you know of any existing middleware projects? For example ones by-passing USB otg.

@snowstorm0182 - I’m not sure what you’re asking.
