GoBerry

Usage

$ ./goberry -pin 1010

• pin: the controller token

Understanding the logs

18:20:49 JSON path not set # expected since the flag telling where the json config is was not defined, it defaults to the current directory
18:20:49 Starting 4 consumers # starting 4 threads for consuming what the server is sending
18:20:49 Starting GoBerry # go berry running
18:20:49 Consumer up # message for each consumer/thread that is up
18:20:49 Consumer up
18:20:49 Consumer up
18:20:49 Consumer up
18:20:49 Controller already exists # if the controller already exists in the API
18:20:49 Server accepting connections # server is up
18:20:49 Client trying connection with: 127.0.0.1:9001 # tcp client trying to connect with the server
18:20:49 Everything started # last print after starting all threads
18:20:49 Polling controller # http polling controller stuff
18:20:49 Client could not connect:
	 dial tcp 127.0.0.1:9001: connect: connection refused # if the client could not connect to the server, will try again soon

Requirements

• Go Installed

Installing GoLang

Link

Building

Local

For building the project to run locally run this command inside the project folder

$ go build

This generates an executable binary called goberry which you can execute.

RaspBerry PI

Building the project to RaspBerry PI requires setting environments variables that will make it build to Arm architecture. The following command will be enough:

$ env GOARCH=arm GOOS=linux go build

If ran succesfully a binary will be created called goberry which you must run inside the RaspBerry PI.

Sending to the RaspBerry PI

Sending to the RaspBerry PI is simple, the only requirements is being able to ssh into it. Pretend the RaspBerry PI has IP 192.168.100.100.

$ env GOARCH=arm GOOS=linux go build # builds the goberry
$ scp ./goberry [email protected]:/home/pi/GoBerry/ # sends the binary
$ scp ./cfg.json [email protected]:/home/pi/GoBerry/ # sends the config file

Configurations

A JSON is available and is a requirement for running GoBerry, it must be inside the same directory of the binary running.

{
  "api": {
    "protocol": "http",
    "host": "127.0.0.1",
    "port": 4001,
    "pollInterval": 2
  },
  "socketServer": {
    "host": "",
    "port": "9000"
  },
  "socketClient": {
    "host": "127.0.0.1",
    "port": "9001"
  }
}

There are three parts: api, socketServer and socketClient.

API

• protocol: keep it HTTP, it is the protocol used to communicate with the API
• host: the host (ip or domain) running the API
• port: tcp port for connecting
• pollInterval: interval in seconds for each poll made to the api looking for new commands

Socket Server

• host: blank means the localhost, since GoBerry is running inside RaspBerry PI it should be kept blank
• port: tcp port that will be opened

Socket Client

• host: the host of the socket client opened by the electronics team
• port: tcp port to connect
