Development Instructions

Download fake-thermal-camera, and device-register, thermal-recorder, thermal-uploader, event-reporter, management-interface project into the same folder.

Make sure the cacophony-api server the devices will attach to is also running

In the fake-thermal-camera folder start the test server with

> ./run

Now you can start calling server commands. You should create a device before you get started.

Current server commands

GET http://localhost:2040/create/{device-name}?group-name={group-name}  Create a new device.  Needs to be called before any other command.
GET http://localhost:2040/sendCPTVFrames/?cptv-file={filename}  Mocks a leptond camera and sends the frames of a CPTV file (including telemetry data) on /var/run/lepton-frames (does not require a device to be created first)

cptv files are stored in cmd/fake-lepton/cptv-files you can add cptv files to this directory while the image is running and send them via sendCPTVFrames

GET http://localhost:2040/triggerEvent/{type}  Triggers and event of the given event type.

Note that the server currently only runs one device at a time. Once a new device is created it is no longer possible to use the previously created device.
