openag_brain CLI

/openag_brain/ commands are typically accessed through rosrun.

For example: rosrun openag_brain main personal_food_computer_v2.launch

openag_brain main

To start running the openag_brain system:

usage: main [-h] [-A API_SERVER] [-D DB_SERVER] [--screen] launch_file

Runs the entire software project. In particular, it initializes the database
(init_db) and runs the roslaunch file.

positional arguments:
  launch_file           The path to the .launch file to use
  
optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -A API_SERVER, --api_server API_SERVER
                        Address of the API from the api module
  -D DB_SERVER, --db_server DB_SERVER
                        Address of the database server
  --screen              Passes the --screen flag to the roslaunch call, which
                        forces all node output to the screen. Useful for
                        debugging.

Load a built-in fixture before starting by putting it in the (default) catkin_ws/src/openag_brain/launch/personal_food_computer_v2.launch file.

openag_brain firmware

Used to build the firmware and flash it to the Arduino board. The latest details are here.

You must initialize the platform I/O system one time:

rosrun openag_brain init_pio

Firmware help:

rosrun openag_brain firmware -h

To just build the firmware:

rosrun openag_brain firmware launch/personal_food_computer_v2.yaml

To build the firmware and flash it to the Arduino board:

rosrun openag_brain firmware –target upload launch/personal_food_computer_v2.yaml
