Shift Base Station 💻

This repository contains the Shift Base Station System which has the purpose of:

Fetching CAN messages from the pod via radio transmission
Visualizing the CAN data for analysis
Sending CAN signals to start/stop the pod via radio transmission

Installation

Prerequisites

To be able to run the application, Qt >= 5.15 is recommended. See this link for installation guidelines. You can either use Qt Creator to build the project or any other build tool with CMake support. Other required software:

Git
CMake (can be installed with Qt)
Functioning C++ compiler supporting at least C++14.

Before building the project, clone it into a folder of your liking using the command:

HTTP:

$ git clone https://github.com/shift-hyperloop/Software2021.git

SSH:

$ git clone git@github.com:shift-hyperloop/Software2021.git

Or using a Git GUI application.

Building the project

Windows

Before building the project you need to tell CMake where your Qt installation is. This can be done by changing this line in CMakeLists.txt:

set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "C:\\Qt\\5.15.2\\msvc2019_64")

To the path of your Qt installation and your preferred compiler.

Now you can run CMake on the CMakeLists.txt file with your preferred kit and should be able to run the project.

Linux/Mac

After cloning the project, start by entering the project folder and create a build folder to store the build files using the commands (this can be created elsewhere if you prefer):

$ cd PieceOfShift
$ mkdir build
$ cd build

Then run CMake from the build folder:

$ cmake ..

You can now build the project using the command:

$ make
