This program conists of the main program elevator-project which controlles a single elevator. It will cooperate with different elevator "servers" which are broadcasting and listening on the same port on the network. It can be theoretically scaled dynamically to match desired number of floors and communicating elevators.
elevator-project (elevator id) (udp_broadcast_port) (elevator hardware ip) (elevator hardware port)
All elevators on the network should have different id's
- Elevator-driver a library for interfacing with the physical elevator tcp interface
- network-rust a library for peer to peer communication and udp broadcast messaging
To make it easier to test with multiple elevators on the same machine a Docker setup has been made where the number of elevators can be dynamically set.
Each elevator (server and simulator) lives in it's own container and are connected to a display container over ssh.
Defaults to 3 elevators
docker-compose build
docker-compose up
docker-compose build needs to be run every time there is a change to the source files.
Optionally you can specify the number of elevators you want
docker-compose up --scale elevator=(number)
After a while you will be asked to enter the tmux session in the display container with the following command
docker exec -ti elevDisplay bash -c "tmux a -t elevs"
Simply use Ctrl+C or docker-compose down in another terminal in the project directory
