FRCLib FarFetched

FarFetched is a RESTful webserver used for remotely monitoring system metrics regardless of user code and configuring some aspects of the system.

A high priority for this project was to make its RAM and CPU footprint as small as possible so as not to hog resources.

Platforms

FarFetched only supports Linux due to how it fetches system information. There are also special features specific to the RoboRio platform to approach feature parity with the NI webserver.

Goals

• Load webpage from server
• Deploy to a Rio
• Display some system information to the user
• Allow configuring the network settings remotely (backend)
• Allow configuring the network settings remotely (frontend)
• Improve graphs and fix process resource usage bugs
• Test Rio config interop
• Add CI
