Learning PHP, Python and MySQL

Things have been a bit slow.  I am learning how to program the thing now.

My first program will be uptime tracking using Python on the Pi, PHP, and MariaDB (MySQL).  I want to set up the infrastructure to send and receive messages. Using this infrastructure want to accomplish the following:

  1. Store and forward messages from and to the rover.
  2. Something that will work for the Raspberry Pi and the Arduino
  3. Something to track the robot, location, and time

Once I get these three things done, I can share what I have and start on the propulsion programming.

I also have some more printing and solar battery charging to figure out.

Progress!

Update:  I got the PHP code working on recording the uptime to a database from a simple HTTP get request.  Working on the python code now, then the Arduino version. I have an ESP-01 and an ESP-01M ready to see how long they last in the battery test. Once I get it working, I will share the code.
