This is the backend for the HYPED base-station, and is responsible for communicating with the hyperloop pod and sending relevant commands and information back and forth. Written in Java with the Spring Boot framework, it communicates to the pod using JSON messages sent over a TCP socket, and displays information on the React frontend. The web interface is also included in here as a submodule.
Download the latest release from Github, and run:
$ java -jar base-station-2020.jar
Go to localhost:8080 for the gui.
Then run ./hyped (from the hyped-2020 repo) to start the pod, and you should see the pod connecting on the gui.
To correctly clone this repo together with frontend submodule, run:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Hyp-ed/base-station-2020.git
or
git clone --recurse-submodules [email protected]:Hyp-ed/base-station-2020.git
This project uses gradle as its build system. Only manually build the project instead of using the released jar file as explained above if you actually intend to work on the base-station. The gradle wrapper is already checked into this repo, so no need to explicitly download gradle (unless you want to).
Run:
$ ./gradlew build
(If on windows use gradlew.bat instead of ./gradlew)
This will create a jar file in build/libs/ that contains both the backend and the static frontend that it serves.
