BDDF data download

This example shows how to download data from GRPC logs and/or the data-buffer service as bddf data. The bddf format is a Boston Dynamics file format added to the SDK in 2.1.

Setup Dependencies

These examples need to be run with python3, and have the Spot SDK installed. See the requirements.txt file for a list of dependencies which can be installed with pip.

$ python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the Examples

There are two primary scripts in this example. The first is bddf_download.py, which downloads specified data from a robot and saves it as a bddf file.

Another example script is bddf_read.py, which extracts and prints protobuf messages stored in a bddf file.

To see the types of messages currently supported by the script, run

$ python3 ./bddf_read.py types

To list the available series of messages in a given bddf file, try

$ python3 ./bddf_read.py series {bddf-file}

To extract and print all operator comment messages in a bddf file, run

$ python3 ./bddf_read.py show {bddf-file} bosdyn.api.OperatorComment

To show RobotId() GRPC request messages stored in a bddf file, use

$ python3 ./bddf_read.py show-grpc {bddf-file} bosdyn.api.RobotIdRequest

To run the script bddf_download.py in the example command lines below, we will use the following variables (Bourne-shell syntax):

USERNAME=<username>
PASSWORD=<password>
ROBOT_IP=<ip-address>

DOWNLOAD_BDDF="python3 bddf_download.py ${ROBOT_IP}"

Specifying time spans

To get a list of formats supported for specifying time spans for data selection in bddf_download.py:

$ python3 bddf_download.py ${ROBOT_IP} --help-timespan
A timespan is {val} or {val}-{val} where:

{val} has one of these formats:
 - yyyymmdd_hhmmss  (e.g., 20200120_120000)
 - yyyymmdd         (e.g., 20200120)
 -  {n}d    {n} days ago
 -  {n}h    {n} hours ago
 -  {n}m    {n} minutes ago
 -  {n}s    {n} seconds ago
 - nnnnnnnnnn[.nn]       (e.g., 1581869515.256)  Seconds since epoch
 - nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn  Nanoseconds since epoch

For example:
  '5m'                    From 5 minutes ago until now.
  '20201107-20201108'     All of 2020/11/07.

Basic data download

Download all data from the last 5 minutes (the default time span). The data is saved to ./download.bddf by default.

$ ${DOWNLOAD_BDDF}

Operator comments

Download all operator comments sent to the data-buffer in last hour and save to comments.bddf.

$ ${DOWNLOAD_BDDF} --timespan 1h --type bosdyn.api.OperatorComment -o comments.bddf

Print the comments:

$ python3 ./bddf_read.py show comments.bddf bosdyn.api.OperatorComment

Events

Download all events from stored in the data-buffer on 2022/11/07, and save to events.bddf.

$ ${DOWNLOAD_BDDF} --timespan 20201107-20201108 --type bosdyn.api.Event -o events.bddf

Print the events.

$ python3 ./bddf_read.py show events.bddf bosdyn.api.Event

GRPC requests/responses

Download robot-id GRPC requests/responses from 20 minutes ago to 10 minutes ago, and store them in file robot-id.bddf.

$ ${DOWNLOAD_BDDF} --timespan 20m-10m --service robot-id -o robot-id.bddf

Print the request and response messages with

$ python3 ./bddf_read.py show-grpc robot-id.bddf bosdyn.api.RobotIdRequest
$ python3 ./bddf_read.py show-grpc robot-id.bddf bosdyn.api.RobotIdResponse

GUI

A graphical user interface is also available using bddf_download_gui.py. An additional PyQt5 dependency is required.

$ python3 -m pip install -r gui_requirements.txt

To run the example as a GUI:

$ python3 bddf_download_gui.py
