t-animal/duofern-fusefs

Duofernstick Fileystem

Quickstart

1. Copy the udev rule from etc to your udev folder
2. Plug in your rademacher stick (see gluap/pyduofern#7 )
3. Run:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r freeze

4. Initialize your stick as explained here
5. Run:

python main.py -d mnt/ &
sleep 5;
ls mnt

Note the -d flag? That indicates that fuse should run in the fore- ground. No idea why it doesn't work witout that.

Supported HW

Currently only rademacher rollotrons are supported, because I own no other rademacher hardware. The whole software is also heavily geared towards those because I don't intend to add more. I'll happily merge pull requests, though.

The filesystem

You'll find a folder for each of your rademacher devices. In it you'll find files that can only be read (e.g. cat mnt/56d4d/state). Those report info about your device.

There's also files that can only be written (e.g. echo 1 >> mnt/546da/up). When you write anything into them, you'll execute the corresponding command. Note that these files don't support truncating. I.e. in bash echo 1 > mnt/5323d/up will throw an error (but still execute the command).

There's also files that can be written to and read from. For those, both the upper remarks apply. If you write a value to it, though, the corresponding command is executed with the value as parameter. This also means that you must provide viable parameters. If you write -5 into position, for example, it will throw.
