Debugging An ETS-Based Sensor Simulator in Elixir

hezwat is a developer currently learning Elixir's Erlang Term Storage (ETS) and has created a simulation that generates sensor readings, which are stored in an ETS table. The application is designed to mimic the behavior of a temperature sensor that reads global temperature fluctuations over a compressed 5-minute period. The program includes processes that write sensor readings into ETS and another that reads from ETS periodically to analyze temperature trends. Hezwat's main issue is that their code is exiting unexpectedly during execution. The Elixir module `SensorSimulator` uses a GenServer to manage the ETS table and the simulation of sensor readings. The code provided shows functions for initializing the server and the ETS table, scheduling sensor readings and cleanups, handling sensor data input, and analyzing temperature trends. However, the program is terminating early, preventing the continuous simulation and analysis that hezwat intended. Reviewer comments reveal that sensor readings are being scheduled at a very high frequency (1 millisecond intervals), which hezwat confirms is intentional to test ETS performance for handling frequent, temporary data inputs. Despite being a learning exercise, hezwat has implemented a complex system that deals with concurrency and data management issues inherent to real-time sensor data simulation. The ask for help seems genuine in the quest to learn how to properly leverage ETS for this use case.
