WaveshareV2 Support

This release adds support for the WaveshareV2 relay board. It also uses a new version of brewdrivers with a lot of improvements.

Changes

This adds support for WaveshareV2. It is treated as a totally separate controller from V1, so you can still use both concurrently if necessary. The usage of the new version in the CLI is the same as the old one; just configure your devices properly in your configuration file.

Note that I have not added support for changing a controllers baudrate in the CLI. This is coming in the next version. For now, stick with the defaults

STR1: 9600
Waveshare (v1/v2): 9600 (?)
CN7500: Set on the screen with the menu buttons (can't be changed through software)

Changes to the Configuration File

The configuration file has added a few fields. These are required for the config file to read successfully. See this page for a full list of the keys with explanations. Here's an example device as an example

name: Test Bed
id: test-bed
ip_addr: 0.0.0.0
devices:
  - id: omega1
    name: Omega PID
    conn:  # conn = connection details
      port: /dev/ttyUSB0
      baudrate: 19200
      timeout: 35
      controller: CN7500
      controller_addr: 22
      addr: 0
  - id: relay0
    name: STR1 Relay 0
    conn:
      port: /dev/ttyUSB0
      baudrate: 38400
      timeout: 16
      controller: STR1
      controller_addr: 254
      addr: 0
  - id: wsrelay0
      name: WaveshareV2 Relay 0
      conn:
        port: /dev/ttyUSB0
        baudrate: 38400
        timeout: 40
        controller: WaveshareV2     # This now supports WaveshareV2. It is treated as a totally separate controller type
        controller_addr: 1
        addr: 0

Installation

# First, uninstall old versions if necessary
$ cargo uninstall NBC_cli
# Then resinstall. Make sure it's version 4.5.0
$ cargo install NBC_cli

Version 4.2.0

This release adds an auto-updating dashboard and some logging features

Version 4

There's a few changes under the hood, but the big thing here is that the driver field in the config file has changed to controller. Also, relays no longer accept 1 or 0 as states, only on or off. This is because we plan to implement stepper relays that go from 0-255, so it's to separate numeric states from binary states.

Iris Rewrite

The CLI has been rewritten to accommodate the new Iris package in the BCS ecosystem. It's much better now!

CLI Pilot

Here's the first stable version of the standalone CLI. It runs on brewdrivers v0.8.0 if you care.

See the precompiled binaries below. For quick installation on the RTUs, run

$ curl -L https://github.com/NavasotaBrewing/cli/releases/download/v1.1.0/NBC_cli_armv7l > cli
$ sudo chmod +x cli
$ ./cli
