Wireless Telemetry GUI

The Wireless Telemetry GUI used to graph and show telemetry data coming from the car in real-time.

This is through an interactive web-application using the following technologies:

Building & Running

To get up-and-running with development follow the steps outlined below.

1. Prerequisites

The following tools need to be installed before you work on this project:

If you use macOS or Linux, git will probably already be installed on your machines. If you use Microsoft Windows, git can be installed from here.

Regardless of OS, you can download node.js from its website here. Make sure to download version 16!

For the GUI to fully function, you need a running version of the following servers on your machine:

You can find building & running instructions for both on their respective repositories linked above.

2. Cloning the Repo

Clone the repository on your local machine using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/sufst/wireless-telemetry-gui.git

3. Install Dependencies

Open a terminal window, navigate to the folder the repository was cloned and run the following command to install all dependencies:

npm install --legacy-peer-deps

Note: Some dependency versions listed in the package.json file are outdated, thus it's important to specify the --legacy-peer-deps flag when using the command above.

4. Update config.ts

You now need to update the back-end API URL on config.ts under scr/config.ts. Open that file and update the url variable on line 30 with your own back-end API URL.

5. Starting the application

Once all dependencies are installed and all servers are running, you can start the web-app by running the following command from the root of the application:

npm start

This runs the app in the development mode. Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

Known Issues:

  1. Currently, the version of material-ui used in v4 instead of the latest major release v5. This doesn't cause any known issues and is in the roadmap to be updated in the future. For now, development should docs the v4 version of the material-ui documentation available here.

  2. Currently, the version of node.js known to be able to build the project is Node version 16. If you happen to have a latest version, you'll need to use v16 until this issue is fixed.

  3. As mentioned above, the npm install command currently fails unless the --legacy-peer-deps flag is used with it.
