test Script

This is the test script I am using on Mac OS computer from the command line to run the software:

#!/bin/bash
# 2017-04-02
dev=/dev/ttyUSB0
os=`uname`
case $os in
  Darwin) 
   #dev=/dev/tty.usbserial-113010822821
   dev=/dev/cu.usbserial-113010822821
  ;;
esac

#
# show usage
#
usage() {
  echo "$0 [-d|-h]"
  echo "  -h|--help   : show this usage"
  echo "  -d|--debug  : switch on debugging"
  #exit 1
}

# commandline option
option=$1

# optionally show usage
case $option in
  -h|--help) 
    usage
    options="--help"
    ;;
  # switch on debugging 
  # see https://sdqweb.ipd.kit.edu/wiki/Remote_Debugging_mit_Eclipse
  -d|--debug) options="--debug"
esac

java -jar target/com.bitplan.obdii-0.0.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar $options --conn $dev --display Swing --log Ion

You might want to modify:

1. the name of the device dev=/dev/cu.usbserial-113010822821
2. the baud rate 230400
3. the log file directory Ion

And you might want to make sure the log file directory exists
