ATTENTION DEPRECATED !!!

This repository is soon deprecated. Please use our new modules:

• GoRexFile
• GoRexClient

If you want to use gorex in your production code, please contact support@robotic-eyes.com.

gorex

The gorex library provides a library which works with rexOS. The library can easily be integrated into your Go project. It can help you to get started with REX as a developer. The library offers two different main features:

• Working with the REX file format
• Working with the rexOS REST API

Architecture

The SDK provides a high-level and low-level interface to the rexOS. The http/creator package is a higher abstraction, whereas the http/core delivers access to the low-level HAL API.

Installation

You can install Go by following these instructions. Please note that Go >= 1.12. is required!

First, clone the repository to your local development path, and let go download all dependencies:

go mod tidy

This should download all required packages. To build all tools, you simple use the attached Makefile and call

make

Usage

Make sure that you just include the gorex library in your application:

package main

import (
    "github.com/roboticeyes/gorex"
)

Please see the examples folder for further demos.

Tools

rxi

rxi is a simple command line tool which simply dumps REX file informations to the command line. It also allows to extract images from the file directly. For more information, please call rxi directly.

rxt

rxt is terminal-based user interface for accessing the rexOS information. In order to work with rxt, you need to have a configuration file in place. Either put the file into $HOME/.config/rxt/config.json or attach the config file as command line parameter. The minimal information for a config file should contain the following information:

{
    "default": "rex",
    "environments": [
        {
            "name": "rex",
            "domain": "rex.robotic-eyes.com",
            "clientId": "<your clientid>",
            "clientSecret": "<your clientsecret"
        }
    ]
}

rxc (deprecated)

rxc is a command line tool to work with rexOS on your command line.

rxc uses environment variables to define the REX domain and user credentials, you need to set the following environment variables:

REX_DOMAIN=rex.robotic-eyes.com
REX_CLIENT_ID=<your client id>
REX_CLIENT_SECRET=<your client secret>

Please check our documentation to generate valid user credentials.

Register an account

In order to work with the rexOS you need a REX account. Visit the REX registration page and create a new account. Under Settings you need to generate a new API token. This delivers a valid clientId and clientSecret for your application.
