Yamcs QuickStart

This repository holds the source code to start a basic Yamcs application that monitors a simulated spacecraft in low earth orbit.

You may find it useful as a starting point for your own project.

Prerequisites

  • Java 17+
  • Linux x64/aarch64, macOS x64/aarch64, or Windows x64

A copy of Maven is also required, however this gets automatically downloaded an installed by using the ./mvnw shell script as detailed below.

Running Yamcs

Here are some commands to get things started:

Compile this project:

./mvnw compile

Start Yamcs on localhost:

./mvnw yamcs:run

Same as yamcs:run, but allows a debugger to attach at port 7896:

./mvnw yamcs:debug

Delete all generated outputs and start over:

./mvnw clean

This will also delete Yamcs data. Change the dataDir property in yamcs.yaml to another location on your file system if you don't want that.

Telemetry

To start pushing CCSDS packets into Yamcs, run the included Python script:

python simulator.py

This script will send packets at 1 Hz over UDP to Yamcs. There is enough test data to run for a full calendar day.

The packets are a bit artificial and include a mixture of HK and accessory data.

Telecommanding

This project defines a few example CCSDS telecommands. They are sent to UDP port 10025. The simulator.py script listens to this port. Commands have no side effects. The script will only count them.

Bundling

Running through Maven is useful during development, but it is not recommended for production environments. Instead bundle up your Yamcs application in a tar.gz file:

./mvnw package
