BCS network

This crate contains all the necessary networking components for the BCS to operate.

note: this package is called NavasotaBrewing/network, but because the name needs to be more specific for crates.io, the crate is known as bcs_network for Brewery Control System-network. I wish crates.io had namespacing.

brewdrivers is all the device drivers and a CLI to use them; brewkit is the web interface for the brewer to use; this crate is the networking components that link these two together.

Originally, everything here was part of brewdrivers, which was convenient but cumbersome. Compile times were very long on the RPi, and the executable had grown to 100+ MB for debug. This pulls about 85 MB debug out of brewdrivers so it can remain thinner.

Usage

There are 2 places you'd want to use this package:

1. The master station
2. The RTUs

See the architecture page for more information about layout.

On the master station, you don't need the device drivers because there's no hardware connected to it:

$ cargo install bcs_network
$ bcs_network master

On the RTUs, you do need brewdrivers:

$ cargo install bcs_network --features=rtu
$ bcs_network rtu

Cargo should handle everything for you.

Specifying the Serial Port

The default serial port is /dev/ttyAMA0. If this is incorrect, set the environment variable BREWDRIVERS_PORT

$ BREWDRIVERS_PORT=/dev/ttyUSB0 bcs_network rtu
