WARG Ground Station

The ground station that displays data received from the data-relay-station

Installation

1. Clone the repo
2. Download Node.js for your OS
3. Run npm install to install the app dependencies (which includes electron)
4. Download sat_tiles.zip and extract the sat_tiles folder to the assets folder of the project
5. Run npm start to start the app

Running the simulation

The Ground Station supports simulations, so the data-relay-station doesn't actually have to be run. Click on the Window>>Simulation Mode menu item to open the simulation window and start up the simulator.

Running Tests

Run npm test to run the unit tests. The groundstation uses mocha as its BDD testing framework, sinonjs as its method stubbing library, chai as its assertion library, as well as rewire to mock out require calls, and isntanbul for code coverage reports.

API Documentation

You can read the api docs by visiting gs.uwarg.com. The documentation is hosted on github pages, and can be generated (assuming you have the correct github permissions) by running the upload-docs.sh script.
