Thanks Michael, Mark,

Sorry for not acknowledging earlier.. this feedback is great; I've just been cogitating on the consequences. 

I still have the Poller hanging onto the vehicle by a thread so I should just cut the thread making the Poller a separate singleton (it's still embedded in the vehicle class for now with a small interface joining them).

If I do, does it need to get moved to a new directory or can it stay in the vehicle/ directory?  The file vehicle_poller.cpp (and the _isotp and vwtp parts to it) are still pretty much as they were with only a change in class name..

I think I just need the poller to get its own values of m_can1 etc and provide a different way of getting the feedback results.

I also need to make sure I'm not cutting off the 'vehicle' class' access to non-solicited messages (ie stuff that is just on the bus).

Actually, separating the poller from the vehicle was part of the plan of reworking it into a job/worker architecture. I see no reason the generalized poller would need to remain coupled to the vehicle.

That's why I placed the OBD single request command in the "obdii" hierarchy (although a more proper naming would have been e.g. "isotp", but changing the name or having both would confuse users -- and meanwhile the poller also supports a non-ISO TP variant).

Michael,

It depends on whether the poller can *only* be used in the vehicle class or if it is a framework all by itself (for example with commands to manually poll specific PIDs, etc).

If *only* within vehicle framework, then putting it as a sub-command under ‘vehicle’ seems sensible.

If more general purpose, then perhaps look at ‘copen’ (component/canopen) as an example.

Regards, Mark.

Hi all,

I know some of this (especially for the status) functionality is predicated on code that's not gone up yet - however this is allowing 'pause' and 'resume' of the poller (which has been merged).
My question is not so much about the functionality and status information, but about the location of the poller subcommand. (See below). 

Should 'vehicle' be exclusively for switching the vehicle type?  Should the 'poller' command be top-level?  Under obdii?  

Thoughts welcome.
If you do  vehicle poller pause  then the last line reads  'Vehicle OBD Polling is paused'
