Currently implemented for a GQ Electronics GMC-500+ over serial USB (defaults to /dev/ttyUSB0) to: (1) read, at serial configuration time, device model (hardware and firmware) and serial number. also read device config cpm/Svh calibration values. (2) loop indefinitely to read/report CPM with specified periodicity (defaults to 30 seconds): (2a) calculate CPM average (rolling period 1 hour) and uSvH (based on calibration values). (2b) report CPM to stdout. (2c) report CPM to MQTT, if configured (default broker mqtt://localhost and topic sensors/radiation). (2d) report CPM to GMCMAP, if configured (using specified user_id and counter_id). (2e) if serial disconnection or fault, wait and poll until serial is reconnected, then resume (step 1) The communication specification from GC Electronics is at https://www.gqelectronicsllc.com/download/GQ-RFC1801.txt (to support GQ-RFC1201.txt based devices, a couple of modifications are needed as stated in the .c source) Note the hearbeat mode is not used as it reports CPS that needs translation to CPM. Also provided a systemd service file and an example config file.
