Open the files in Visual Studio Code after cloning the repository

There are two backend files:

1. Data.py

   • This file contains the functions to send and parse commands for the Daly-bms
   • It has functionality to send individual commands too
   • 
   • just change the command_id to required command on line 282

2. main.py

• This file is for the python flash Web Socket
• It sets up a Web Socket to fetch data from the bms via Data.py and display it every 5 seconds
• It also emits the data which can be fetched by the React Frontend
• Press ctrl + C to stop the data fetching process
• To run this file go to the directory your file is in
• Type python main.py in the terminal (make sure that the file directory and your current directory are the same)

• python main.py

• Once it gets running it should periodically fetch the data and display it

The frontend consists of react files with components containing the individual page components along with their css files

To deploy the frontend web app, do the following steps:

1. Backend Deployment:
   • Ensure the your backend Web Socket server is live and fetching data periodically
   • Also ensure that the data being transmitted is received by your frontend
2. Installing React:
   • To run the react app on your pc first we need to install it
   • First navigate to the frontend directory using this

   • cd bms-dashboard

   • Next to install the required dependencies just copy paste this into the terminal

     npm install

3. Running the setup:
   • To run the web app simple navigate to the directory
   • Use the above given cd command to navigate to the directory
   • Copy the directory command and paste it in you terminal
   • Once inside the correct directory use the following command

   • npm run dev

   • Your server will open at localhost:5173
   • Press ctrl and click the link to display your web app.
