MAS GUI

New Node Manager for ROS (1/2).

The MAS GUI is composed by two main parts: A Back-End component (daemon with WebSocket), and a Front-End Component (powered by Electron and ReactJS).

Install

We need to first install dependencies and run both Front and Back-End components:

Install dependencies

You need a running TTYD to show screen or log output of the nodes.

sudo snap install ttyd --classic

Update nodejs to v20

The code have been tested with NodeJS v20.15.0:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Server Side (Back-End)

cd ros_workspace/src
git clone https://github.com/fkie/fkie-multi-agent-suite.git fkie-multi-agent-suite
rosdep update
rosdep install -i --as-root pip:false --reinstall --from-paths fkie-multi-agent-suite

Then build all packages:

catkin build fkie_mas_meta

or

colcon build --packages-select fkie_mas_meta

Client Side (Front-End)

Only for developer mode: Download and install JavaScript module dependencies:

cd fkie_mas_gui
npm install
npm run build

Usage

Run the app in developer mode:

npm run dev:ns

The app will start automatically the local daemon and master discovery nodes.

Start only as node (without GUI)

Starts a server on default port 6274. You can change the port in electron.vite.config.ts.

npm run server:ns

Then open in browser http://localhost:6274

Websocket communication

Action Message Format Description
Message {“uri”: str, message: JSONObject } Publish messages to given topic (URI)
Subscribe to an URI {“sub”, [str]} Receive all messages published to this URI
Unsubscribe from an URI {“unsub”, [str]} Stop receiving messages send to this URI
Remote procedure call (RPC) {“uri”: str, “id”: number, “params”: []} id is unique request. params is a is list with parameters for the remote procedure call.
Reply for successful RPC {“id”: number, “result”: JSONObject } id is unique request id.
Reply with error while RPC {“id”: number, “error”: str } id is unique request id.

MAS GUI

New Node Manager for ROS (1/2).

The MAS GUI is composed by two main parts: A Back-End component (daemon with WebSocket), and a Front-End Component (powered by Electron and ReactJS).

Install

We need to first install dependencies and run both Front and Back-End components:

Install dependencies

You need a running TTYD to show screen or log output of the nodes.

sudo snap install ttyd --classic

Update nodejs to v20

The code have been tested with NodeJS v20.15.0:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Server Side (Back-End)

cd ros_workspace/src
git clone https://github.com/fkie/fkie-multi-agent-suite.git fkie-multi-agent-suite
rosdep update
rosdep install -i --as-root pip:false --reinstall --from-paths fkie-multi-agent-suite

Then build all packages:

catkin build fkie_mas_meta

or

colcon build --packages-select fkie_mas_meta

Client Side (Front-End)

Only for developer mode: Download and install JavaScript module dependencies:

cd fkie_mas_gui
npm install

MAS GUI

New Node Manager for ROS (1/2).

The MAS GUI is composed by two main parts: A Back-End component (daemon with WebSocket), and a Front-End Component (powered by Electron and ReactJS).

Install

We need to first install dependencies and run both Front and Back-End components:

Install dependencies

You need a running TTYD to show screen or log output of the nodes.

sudo snap install ttyd --classic

Update nodejs to v20

The code have been tested with NodeJS v20.15.0:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Server Side (Back-End)

cd ros_workspace/src
git clone https://github.com/fkie/fkie-multi-agent-suite.git fkie-multi-agent-suite
rosdep update
rosdep install -i --as-root pip:false --reinstall --from-paths fkie-multi-agent-suite

Then build all packages:

catkin build fkie_mas_meta

or

colcon build --packages-select fkie_mas_meta

Client Side (Front-End)

Only for developer mode: Download and install JavaScript module dependencies:

cd fkie_mas_gui
npm install
npm run build

Usage

Run the app in developer mode:

npm run dev:ns

The app will start automatically the local daemon and master discovery nodes.

Start only as node (without GUI)

Starts a server on default port 6274. You can change the port in electron.vite.config.ts.

npm run server:ns

Then open in browser http://localhost:6274

Websocket communication

MAS GUI

New Node Manager for ROS (1/2).

The MAS GUI is composed by two main parts: A Back-End component (daemon with WebSocket), and a Front-End Component (powered by Electron and ReactJS).

Install

We need to first install dependencies and run both Front and Back-End components:

Install dependencies

You need a running TTYD to show screen or log output of the nodes.

sudo snap install ttyd --classic

Update nodejs to v20

The code have been tested with NodeJS v20.15.0:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Server Side (Back-End)

cd ros_workspace/src
git clone https://github.com/fkie/fkie-multi-agent-suite.git fkie-multi-agent-suite
rosdep update
rosdep install -i --as-root pip:false --reinstall --from-paths fkie-multi-agent-suite

Then build all packages:

catkin build fkie_mas_meta

or

colcon build --packages-select fkie_mas_meta

Client Side (Front-End)

Only for developer mode: Download and install JavaScript module dependencies:

cd fkie_mas_gui
npm install
npm run build

Usage

Run the app in developer mode:

npm run dev:ns

The app will start automatically the local daemon and master discovery nodes.

Start only as node (without GUI)

Starts a server on default port 6274. You can change the port in electron.vite.config.ts.

npm run server:ns

Then open in browser http://localhost:6274

Websocket communication

MAS GUI

New Node Manager for ROS (1/2).

The MAS GUI is composed by two main parts: A Back-End component (daemon with WebSocket), and a Front-End Component (powered by Electron and ReactJS).

Install

We need to first install dependencies and run both Front and Back-End components:

Install dependencies

You need a running TTYD to show screen or log output of the nodes.

sudo snap install ttyd --classic

Update nodejs to v20

The code have been tested with NodeJS v20.15.0:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Server Side (Back-End)

cd ros_workspace/src
git clone https://github.com/fkie/fkie-multi-agent-suite.git fkie-multi-agent-suite
rosdep update
rosdep install -i --as-root pip:false --reinstall --from-paths fkie-multi-agent-suite

Then build all packages:

catkin build fkie_mas_meta

or

colcon build --packages-select fkie_mas_meta

Client Side (Front-End)

Only for developer mode: Download and install JavaScript module dependencies:

cd fkie_mas_gui
npm install
npm run build

Usage

Run the app in developer mode:

npm run dev:ns

The app will start automatically the local daemon and master discovery nodes.

Start only as node (without GUI)

Starts a server on default port 6274. You can change the port in electron.vite.config.ts.

npm run server:ns

Then open in browser http://localhost:6274

Websocket communication

Action Message Format Description
Message {“uri”: str, message: JSONObject } Publish messages to given topic (URI)
Subscribe to an URI {“sub”, [str]} Receive all messages published to this URI
Unsubscribe from an URI {“unsub”, [str]} Stop receiving messages send to this URI
Remote procedure call (RPC) {“uri”: str, “id”: number, “params”: []} id is unique request. params is a is list with parameters for the remote procedure call.
Reply for successful RPC {“id”: number, “result”: JSONObject } id is unique request id.
Reply with error while RPC {“id”: number, “error”: str } id is unique request id.

Supported interface URIs

Interface URI Type Function Description
ros.daemon.ready PUB => {'status': bool, "timestamp": float} Sent by the daemon at an interval
ros.discovery.ready PUB => {'status': bool}  
ros.daemon.get_version RPC () => DaemonVersion see fkie_mas_pylib/interface/runtime_interface/DaemonVersion
ros.file.get RPC (path: str) => FileItem see fkie_mas_pylib/interface/file_interface/FileItem
ros.file.save RPC (file: FileItem) => number write file content to providers file system. Return count of written bytes.
ros.nodes.get_list RPC () => RosNode[] see fkie_mas_pylib/interface/runtime_interface/RosNode
ros.nodes.get_services RPC () => RosService[] see fkie_mas_pylib/interface/runtime_interface/RosService
