ankevanoosterhout / feelix2.0 Goto Github PK

Hello, so I have gone through the process of compiling the code on the M1 Mac and had to manage package issue.
I'll detail the changes I needed to do in order for this to work.

First of all Python 3.11 and higher does not function as gyp throws:
build_file_contents = open(build_file_path, 'rU').read() as an issue since 'rU' as a argument is deprecated in 3.11

To install developer mode

First make sure that the proper angular/cli and node is installed
npm install -g @angular/cli
nvm install 14.19.1

--legacy-peer-deps might need added if you have newer versions of some of the dependencies.
npm install --legacy-peer-deps --python=python3.10

next following the directives in the /dev branch, of deleting some files,

electron@11 needs to be declared as any newer version will be incompatible
npm install electron@11 --legacy-peer-deps [email protected]

./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

Once done, running locally did not work and needs to be further looked into, however compiling with
npm run package-mac

works and returns an x64 app for apple that will run in rossetta

TODO: Potentially update packages in order to attain arm64 architecture compatibility.

Just opening a thread here to discuss the process.

I have been getting to understand how Feelix works. Does the microcontroller that is loaded up with the Feelix Firmware communicate directly to the motor using simpleFOC?

From what I have understood so far, I will attempt to create a wrapper so that the Feelix Software can communicate with the Moteus controller by transmitting the information like torque, angle and position over.
