The Python version under `enervent-ctrl-python`
|
|
|
|
|
is an initial proof-of-concept,
|
|
|
|
|
mainly to test that the hardware side of things
|
|
|
|
|
works as expected. The main daemon is written
|
|
|
|
|
in Go and the source is under `enervent-ctrl-go`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The daemon is designed to run on a Linux host
|
|
|
|
|
that has some sort of RS485 connector attached.
|
|
|
|
|
For development a Raspberry Pi 4B was initially
|
|
|
|
|
used for convenience, but after the Go
|
|
|
|
|
implementation started, a RPi Zero W 1 with a
|
|
|
|
|
connected [Zihatec RS 485 HAT](https://www.hwhardsoft.de/english/projects/rs485-shield/?mobile=1)
|
|
|
|
|
has been used to make sure the daemon stays as
|
|
|
|
|
lightweight as possible.
