Crucible Arduino Meteor Integration

Meteor to Raspberry Pi to Arduino Integration

Running

You'll have to install Meteor to run this app. Do not upgrade the Meteor version requested by this app because it Meteor 1.3.4 is the more recent version to run on a Pi.

git clone https://github.com/luzlab/crucible.git
cd crucible
meteor npm install
meteor --settings settings.json

Settings

The json file should have:

{
  "data360": {
    ...
  } ,
  "arduino": {
    "baudrate" : "XX",
    "port" :"/dev/XX"
  },
  "thermolator": {
    "baudrate" : "XX",
    "port" :"/dev/XX",
    "model" : "XX" 
  },
  "logging": false
}

The thermolator model can be either thermoscientific or julabo. The logging setting controls whether the serial methods should be logged to the console.

Development

Starting the app with NODE_ENV set to development allows development in the absence of a Pi or any serial ports.

NODE_ENV=development meteor --settings settings.json
