This is a simple scheduling server that runs on Node.js which keeps track of schedule jobs meant to run on FLEXA as part of the scheduling feature.
You will need to first create a .env file before being able to run src/server.js. Following .env.example:
# without quotes " and ' for strings
ROBOT_NAME=flexa
HOME_ZONES={ "Tunnel" : [-5.5, 2, 0] }
PORT=8091
API_KEY=<secret_key>
API_URL=<flexa_fleet_adapter url>
DATABASE_URL=<mongodb url>
Run the following command to install the relevant node_modules:
npm install
This application will read documents from schedules collection from MongoDB on startup and will create schedule jobs from the entries. CRUD endpoints are also available to create/update schedules while the server is running.
Please ensure that flexa_ui and flexa_fleet_adapter are both running in conjunction with the scheduling server. This is a neccessary step as it takes in incoming schedules from flexa_ui during robot operation(s) and intructs the robot via flexa_fleet_adapter.
