Dock monitor system

This project includes four sub projects.

API - Vessel API to get info about vessels
Pi-Node - Node server that takes picture of vessel and stores the data to database
Pi-C - Manages communication with arduino via XBee
Arduino - Handles sensor logic and communicates with PI via XBee
Web - Interface to check out dock activity. Also has an api to get the dock activity.

Installing Project

$ git clone git://github.com/aaronsmooth/ShipSensing.git

Using API's

###Vessel API To lookup a vessel you must create a search field that passes a fully-qualified URL content request to the Vessel API.

#####Query Parameters

key - Search Key. [mmsi, imo, id, name]
val - Value of the key.
format - Format of the result. [json, xml]

Examples of fully-qualified URLs:

$ curl --request GET "http://vesselapi.parseapp.com/lookup?key=name&val=TUGELA&format=json"

###Activity API To search for activites you must create a search field that passes a fully-qualified URL content request to the web API.

#####Query Parameters

limit - Limit of the search results. Default is 10. Set limit to "none" to get all results. [1 to whatever number you want]
format - Format of the result. [json, xml]
mmsi, imo, name and id can be used to filter results.

Examples of fully-qualified URLs:

$ curl --request GET "http://dockmonitor.parseapp.com/activity?limit=none&format=xml"

Building Project

###Pi-Node

#####Install and setup Node

// Update package manager
$ sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get update

// Install Node
$ wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.2/node-v0.10.2-linux-arm-pi.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf node-v0.10.2-linux-arm-pi.tar.gz

// Set NODE_JS_HOME variable to the directory where you un-tarred Node, and add the bin dir to your PATH
$ NODE_JS_HOME=/home/pi/node-v0.10.2-linux-arm-pi 
$ PATH=$PATH:$NODE_JS_HOME/bin

#####Running Node server

// Go to "pi-node" directory of the project
$ npm install

// Wait for all dependencies to be installed and then run the server
$ node server.js

###Pi-Py Setup

// Go to "pi-py" directory of the project
$ bash setup.sh

// Wait for setup to complete
$ ./server.py
