Electronic tracer

The "driver-v1" folder

Use it for physical tracer board, version 1.
Prerequisites: libudev1 and g++ installed (sudo apt-get install libudev1 build-essential).
Driver based on Kerry Wong's library (https://github.com/kerrydwong/MCP2210-Library).
To build the driver-application, run cd driver-v1; make. It will generate the tracer binary, which should be run as root (or with the setuid bit set).

The "driver-mock" folder

Use it for local testing, without a tracer board. It's a dummy data source.
Prerequisites: g++ installed.
To build it, run cd driver-mock; make. It will generate the tracer binary.

The "frontend" directory

Frontend done using electron.js and apex charts.
It uses npm.
To build, run npm install.
To run, copy the tracer binary (from either driver-v1 or driver-mock directories), and then run npm start.
Tested with node 14.x.

The driver-v1 requires setuid permissions. See the snippet below.

cd frontend
cp ../driver-v1/tracer .
sudo chown root tracer
sudo chmod +s tracer
npm start

The "board" directory

Contains the kicad project used for manufacturing the first iteration of the board.
