mawt - A ray of light

0.1.0-feature-01-techthulu-events-1f3aTX

This software implements a server that parses input from a Niantic Tecthulhu and uses it to build OPC frames that are then sent to another TCP/IP server.

Prerequistes

mawt relies upon the presence of the fadecandy server that accepts TCP/IP messages and interfaces with the USB based hardware controllers. The fade candy server can be downloaded as a single binary and run as documented later in this README file. The binary is available for Linux, Windows and OSX from https://github.com/scanlime/fadecandy/releases/tag/package-02. The compressed archives in these releases contain the binaries for the server inside the fc-server/bin directory.

mawt is compiled using golang 1.10.2 or later. Using apt-get to install golang can be made to work if the package expression is used correctly to set the specific version needed. In some cases however the presence of an older version of go if installed into the users local environment will override the system version. Versions on Ubuntu 14.06 or above and go versions 1.9 and below often took this approach. To deal with local installs you will need to delete the existing go installation, typically in ~/go and then download a new version tar unarchive from the golang.org website and unpack it into the same location, or at this point use apt-get to retrieve the latest version.

Running mawt

LOGXI=*=DBG /home/pi/mawt/bin/mawt

mawt supports testing without fadecandy devices by specifying the -server option with the value /dev/null.

Using the 2018 test server for tecthulhu messages can be done using the -tecthulhus option with the value http://operation-wigwam.ingress.com:8080/v1/test-info.

Running the simulator using scenario files

LOGXI=*=DBG go run cmd/simulator/*.go -path assets/simulator/portal_builds
