This repository contains the Queryclient for the project Parkinson Algorithm deTecT movEment patteRNs. The Queryclient accepts print jobs, stores them in a database and allows the processing/acceptance/deletion of jobs via a GUI by a user. Print jobs can be send to a REST-API, that interacts with a PostgreSQL database storing the print jobs. The frontend is a Node.js server, where the user can accept or delete open jobs. The 3D medication printer is handled by the Repetier software. The QueryClient uses Docker to create three seperate containers for safety and reproducibility. The frontend can be accessed through the browser of your choice, e.g. Firefox.
- Install Docker from here
- Clone or download this repository
- Call
docker-compose up --buildin the terminal (Powershell on Windows) - Wait until all four containers where started, you can track their status with
docker container lsor in the desktop app - Open the user interface of the QueryClient in your browser under localhost:50604
You can send print jobs with a POST request using the JSON format. From the shell this can be done with a command like curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"dataString" : "Mustermann|Max|1990-12-25|0815|Station 1|MedPrint3D|Med 100 mg|1.5|2022-09-09 15:21"}' -i localhost:50602/incoming. In the Powershell the corresponding command would be curl.exe -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{\"dataString\" : \"Mustermann|Max|1990-12-25|0815|Station 1|MedPrint3D|Med 100 mg|1.5|2022-09-09 15:21\"}' -i localhost:50602/incoming
In this section we assume that you use a Linux distribution.
- Plug the label printer in an USB port
- Install CUPS (if not existing) with
sudo apt install cups cups-client - Check the adress of the printer with
sudo lpinfo -v - If e.g. the adress is
usb://TSC/TDP-225?serial=000001, add the printer withsudo lpadmin -p labelprinter -v usb://TSC/TDP-225?serial=000001. Here it is important, that you name the printer "labelprinter" - Enable the printer with
sudo cupsenable labelprinter - Let it accept print jobs with
sudo cupsaccept labelprinter
- Plug the medication printer in the Ethernet port
- Access rights of your computer might have to be configured on the medication printer
- You can open the Repetier frontend of the printer here
- In the frontend, go to "Global Settings" and then "Connectivity". Copy the current API key and insert it for the variable
REPETIER_API_KEYas a string - If not already existing, upload all relevant G-Code files for the printer and name them with the corresponding logistics ID from IDMedics
For this configuration we assume that you use a Linux distribution and cron and Firefox are installed
- Open the shell and type
crontab -e - Select an editor, we recommend
nanoorvim - Add the line
@reboot /usr/bin/firefox http://localhost:50604
