Lachesis is a frontend for moirai. It is developed as part of my scientific initiation project, named Plataformas de baixo custo para controle de processos (low-cost platform for process control), developed at CEFET-MG (Brazil) under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Valter Leite. The project was developed through a FAPEMIG scholarship and an article about an application has been published at the Studies in Informatics and Control magazine..
This application allows you to configure the hardware, execute system response tests and run controllers with an easy to use interface. The used input and output signals, as well as variables, can be seen graphically, updating in real time.
The controllers for this platform must be written in Python 3, using libraries like NumPy and SciPy, if needed. Hardware interfacing, input/output management and execution flow are controlled by the platform, taking the burden from you and letting you focus on the design and test of your controllers/models.
It works only as a frontend, meaning that all data is stored and managed in/by the moirai server. The server is also responsible for executing the controller. That means that you can install moirai in a dedicated computer, like a Raspberry Pi, and Lachesis in another one, using Lachesis like a remote control for your control system. This allows various user to share plant configuration.
Manual (in Portuguese) available here.
Under releases, download the latest version for your system. The Windows installer works with both 32 and 64 bits systems. There is an AppImage available for Linux, which is distribution-agnostic, so you just have to download and execute it. There are still another two alternatives for Linux:
Using Flatpak:
flatpak install me.acristoffers.LachesisUsing Snap:
snap install lachesisOn macOS, using Homebrew, you can install with:
brew tap acristoffers/repo
brew cask install lachesisIf you work with another system, like Linux ARM, BSD or Solaris, you can
checkout this repository and build the project yourself. It should run anywhere
electron and node runs. The best way to build this project is to install node
execute npm run dist in the project root. This will install all dependencies
and build the project into desktop/dist.
