MCP-Yamcs+OpenMCT

This GitHub repository aims to integrate OpenMCT with Yamcs, using Yamcs as the backend and OpenMCT as the frontend.

Project Duration: 3 months (Starting from July 1st, 2024)

Project Overview

The project is divided into four main parts:

1. Environmental Set-Up Guide
2. Implementation Challenges and Solutions
3. Telemetry Data Format Explanation
4. Step-by-Step Manual

General Concept

The primary goal is to replace the original Python script with a Yamcs backend. The project structure is visualized as follows:

Project Breakdown

The project can be broken down into six key steps:

1. Data Source to Server Port:

   • Data is sent from the Data Source (such as a Data Simulator or Data Replayer) via UDP/ZMQ to the Server Port (Yamcs).

2. Port to Preprocessor:

   • The Port maps the data to the Preprocessor.

3. Preprocessor to Data Handler:

   • The Preprocessor maps the protocol to the Data Handler.

4. Data Handling:

   • The Data Handler converts telemetry data into human-readable formats.
   • The Data Handler also stores the data in the Database.

5. Data Transfer to OpenMCT:

   • Data is transferred from the server database (RocksDB) to OpenMCT via WebSocket.

Current Progress

As of now, the original "simulator.py" script has been replaced with "replay_zmq.py."
