python run.py
This is a basic translater of CCSDS binary packets into python CTypes and then to JSON packets and transmitted via a socket.io server.
CCSDS packet definitions are described in CTypes.
python app.py --ProjectDir proj_example
Users are expected to copy the proj_example folder for their own project.
Look at the proj_example/driver.py
The driver class is expected to have a tlms object, or property getter that contains ctype structures objects of the packets that will be returned from GetPackets.
The main app will use inspection to scan through all of the telemetry packets, and build a json database of the telemetry packets to send to openmct. This can be done by calling app.py with the --regen_tlmdb, or if proj_example/tlm_db/tlm.json does not exist.
Once created tlm.json can be further modified for polynomials, and limits. More to come later... (units, descriptions)
It will eventually also generate the logging routines for each packet to log incoming packets for the openmct frontend to have historical data to plot with..
A seperate thread will be created repeatably calls drivers GetPackets class function. It is expected that GetPackets will repetably yield a dictionary describing the packet.
