wei-template-workcell

This is a template Workcell repository for the Workcell Execution Interface.

Dependencies

• You'll need docker installed
  • Make sure on Linux to follow the post installation steps to enable non-root user access
• You'll need Python 3.8 or greater installed to run the Example Application.

Configuration

As much as possible, this workcell is designed to be configured declaratively. This is done with:

• A .env file, which you can create by copying example.env (cp example.env .env on Linux), or by running make init.
  • After creating the .env, check to make sure the values are complete and correct.
• The compose.yaml docker compose file, which defines a "stack" of containers that control your workcell
  • Note: whenever you see ${SOME_VARIABLE_NAME} in the compose file, this value is being taken from the .env
• The Workcell Config in workcell_defs/aarl200.workcell.yaml, which allows you to define WEI specific configuration for your workcell

Building, Running, and Managing your Workcell

• make init to initialize your .env file (check to see that the values are correct)
• docker compose up to start your workcell (docker compose up -d starts it in the background)
• docker compose down to stop a workcell
• docker compose logs -f to view the output

Experiment Application

See example_app/README.md for info on installing and running the example application using your workcell.
