UnoJohnnyBuildInfo

My first Arduino project. Goal is to visualize (TeamCity-) Buildinformation with a traffic light.

Arduino will not be used standalone, only serial-connected (USB/Bluetooth LE) to PC / Mac. To be able to call the Rest-API of Teamcity I decided to create the program in Javascript and run it in an NodeJS-Environment. To connect to the Arduino UNO the Johnny-Five Lib will be used.

This project will be documented (in german) and discussed on my Blog: csdev.it.

Install Dependencies

To try out the scripts you need to have installed Node.js and NPM. After checking out this repo move to the app-folder and install all required dependencies.

cd app/
npm install

Arduino requirements

Due to the reason the Arduino only acts passive and reacts to serial input it needs to implement the Firmata-Protocol. You can simply flash it from your Arduino IDE. Go to File > Examples > Firmata > StandardFirmata to open the Sourcecode. After opening flash it to your connected Arduino.

#Configuration

{
  "teamcityHost" : "teamcity.jetbrains.com",
  "teamcityPort" : "443",
  "teamcityUser" : "guest",
  "teamcityPassword" : "",
  "tcProject" : "Kotlin",
  "observeSingleBuildType" : true,
  "tcBuildType" : "bt384",
  "tcPollingIntervalInSeconds" : 15
}

The config.json allows you to configure your individual TeamCity-Server you want to connect to. The following parameters are implemented at the moment:

  • teamcityHost the url of your TeamCity-Server
  • teamcityPort the port of your TeamCity-Server
  • teamcityUser the user to authenticate against the TC-Server, you can put "guest" here if your TC-Config allows Guest-Access
  • teamcityPassword the password of TC-User above. In case of "guest" not needed (leave empty)
  • tcProject Set a TeamCity project to observe all BuildConfigurations of it
  • observeSingleBuildType if you want to select a single TC-BuildConfig instead of all BuildConfigs in a project set this to true and add the BuildTypeID in the next param
  • tcBuildType the BuildTypeID of the single BuildConfig you want to observe
  • tcPollingIntervalInSeconds the interval in that the status is polled regularly
