TMTC Client
to interface the Host OBSW based on FSFW.
commands assuming the use of linux:
Creating a virtual environment
⚠️ Note that you may have to install python-venv before you can create a virtual environment. For a debian based system that would be
sudo apt install python3-venv
Note that when using the GUI in a virtualenv, you need to initialize the venv with system packages:
# Creates the virtual environment venv in the folder venv
# Add the --system-site-packages flag only if you plan on using the GUI
python3 -m venv venv --system-site-packages
# Activate venv
source ./venv/bin/activate
- Install all dependencies
install dependencies
a: (recommended) installing them as classic python packets
pip install -r requirements.txt
b: (not recommended) installing them in editable mode instead
recommended if you actively develop the code in that repo.
pip install -e .
Execute
To run the tmtc Command Line Interface (CLI)
(venv) python main.py
In the program
- 1
- select
localhost,portof your choice e.g.7301. After the first run, a tmtc_config.json is present and stores the preset data. The OBSW tells you on which port it is listening when starting up.
:pto print the command tree- to execute commands from the
tmtc CLIyou look into the device tree and execute the respective command split by slashes.
test/ping # example to execute the ping command (PUS 17,1)
see below a screenshot to visualize the steps above.
In order for all of this to work, you must have your hosted OBSW running in another terminal listening to the correct port!
