Nervo

A nervo system for raspberry pies that makes working with multiple microcontrollers less of a pain

Requirements

Go version >= 1.12

Uses go modules -> Should be cloned outside the $GOPATH or explicitly set the env var GO111MODULE=on

Run the server on a raspberry pi
1. Build the server with make build-for-pi
2. Put the server binary on the pi
3. Run the binary!
Build the command line binary with go build -o nervo-cli cli/main.go
Put the cli binary somewhere inside your $PATH
Run nervo-cli <host/ip of your pi >:4000 [path to a local directory where you have .hex files that you want to flash to the microcontrollers]

cli hosts the command line code
server hosts the entrypoint for the server
proto holds the .proto files and generated code for grpc communication between the server and the cli
controller.go is an abstraction for all interactions with the microcontrollers
manager.go makes sure only one goroutine can access controllers at a time
explorer.go notifies the manager about the current microcontrollers
grpc_server.go defines the grpc-endpoints that are translated into func calls on the manager
