mikkeli 6a7de03773 obd-poller: OBD-II mode 01, the single CAN writer; recorder keeps its values
obd-poller asks 0x7DF for the nine obd2 signals, only while the bus is alive,
and publishes envelopes stamped with the reply's kernel time. The recorder
subscribes to yukart/vehicle/* and writes vehicle.ndjson beside the frames.
Tested against a fake ECU on vcan0.

Core services guidelines

1. One CAN writer: obd-poller

  • obd-poller is the only thing that transmits on the car's bus (project-yukart decision 3): OBD-II requests, one at a time, only while the bus is visibly alive. Anything else that transmits is a bug; the recorder only reads.
  • can_pcan is no longer listen-only (2026-10-12), so the adapter acknowledges frames like any scan tool. Going back is one line in orin-nano-env-setup's /etc/default/can-can_pcan.

2. Capture never waits

  • A frame missed is gone. Producers hand frames to the writer without blocking; what doesn't fit is counted, recorded as an event, and never silently lost.
  • Capture reads SocketCAN and gpsd directly. It does not depend on the broker, a display, or any other service being up.

3. Every failure leaves complete files

  • Append, flush and fdatasync about once a second. Power loss costs at most the last second.
  • Replace files by write-temp, fsync, rename. Never rewrite in place.
  • Anything found half-done at startup is repaired or marked, not deleted.

4. Raw stays raw

  • Recordings are candump -L text plus the gpsd JSON as received, so can-utils, canplayer and anything already written against the first captures keep working.
  • Decoding happens downstream of the recording, never instead of it.

5. Time is evidence, not truth

  • The car unit's clock can boot stale and be stepped mid-drive. Record what is needed to correct it later (sync state, monotonic time, observed steps, GNSS time beside local receive time) rather than trusting it.

6. To be added
