Yakut monitor & looking for help with plotting

Applications & Usage Yakut
#1

I just opened a new pull request that adds the monitor command that’s been asked about several times here:

monitor
monitor1900×800 7.22 MB

It allows you to see what’s happening on the network, who is online, and what data is being exchanged. It relies on the low-level packet capture/tracing API that I introduced into PyUAVCAN a few months ago.

I made it out of necessity since we still don’t have Yukon around but I expect it to remain highly useful even when Yukon is available. Similarly, the yet-missing plotting tool, the ticket about which I put up earlier today, will also be useful with or without Yukon; we could really use some help here:

#2

Hi. Can’t compile dsdl. What am I doing wrong?

~/yakut$ yakut compile ~/yakut/dsdl_files_in/ --output ./dsdl_compiled

You are trying to compile v0 definitions using v1 tools, this is not going to work. Yakut does not support the experimental version of the protocol (also known as UAVCAN v0, which is now obsolete). It only supports UAVCAN v1, the stable version.
