PyRI Open Source Teach Pendant Device Manager

This package is part of the PyRI project. See https://github.com/pyri-project/pyri-core#documentation for documentation. This package is included in the pyri-robotics-superpack Conda package.

The pyri-device-manager package contains the device manager service which detects and manages devices within the overall system.

Service

This service is started automatically by pyri-core, and does not normally need to be started manually.

Standalone service command line example:

pyri-device-manager-service

The pyri-variable-storage service must be running before use. See https://github.com/pyri-project/pyri-variable-storage

Command line options:

Option Type Required Description
--variable-storage-url= Robot Raconteur URL No Robot Raconteur URL of variable storage service
--variable-storage-identifier= Identifier No Robot Raconteur device identifier in string format for variable storage service
--device-info-file= File No Robot Raconteur DeviceInfo YAML file. Defaults to contents of pyri_device_manager_default_info.yml

This service may use any standard --robotraconteur-* service node options.

The device manager needs to connect to the variable storage service. This can be done using discovery based on a Robot Raconteur device identifier, or using a specified Robot Raconteur URL. If neither is specified, the device manager will search for the identifier named pyri_variable_storage on the local machine.

This service adds the -variable-storage-url= and -variable-storage-identifier= options to pyri-core.
