Engineering Data Distributor

Server to distribute incoming data from Solar Car 1 to instances of the Solar Car 1 Engineering Dashboard.

Supported Environments

This server is meant to be run within a Linux shell (bash). Windows command-line shells are not supported. If running this server in a Windows command-line shell, using Docker is recommended.

Command Line Usage

Start script usage: npm start [-- <OPTIONS>]

• Available options:

  -s | --submodule-commit <commit>: Use a specific commit for the sc1-data-format submodule.

  • commit: SHA-1 of the desired sc1-data-format commit to use.

  -d | --dev: Run the server in "dev" configuration, which means that the server will run on the same computer as the TCP server from which it receives data and the engineering dashboard.

  -i | --individual: Run the server in "individual" configuration, which means that the server will receive data from the Raspberry Pi and will run on the same computer as the engineering dashboard.

Docker Usage

Building the image: docker build </path/to/project>

Running the image: docker run -p 4002:4002 -i -a stdin -a stdout -a stderr <IMAGE> [-- <RUN_ARGS>], where RUN_ARGS are the same as the options in Command Line Usage.

• The -i -a stdin -a stdout -a stderr options are passed to enable interaction with the server via the command line.
