MAS GUI
New Node Manager for ROS (1/2).
The MAS GUI is composed by two main parts: A Back-End component (daemon with WebSocket), and a Front-End Component (powered by Electron and ReactJS).
Install
We need to first install dependencies and run both Front and Back-End components:
Install dependencies
You need a running TTYD to show screen or log output of the nodes.
sudo snap install ttyd --classic
Update nodejs to v20
The code have been tested with NodeJS v20.15.0:
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Server Side (Back-End)
cd ros_workspace/src
git clone https://github.com/fkie/fkie-multi-agent-suite.git fkie-multi-agent-suite
rosdep update
rosdep install -i --as-root pip:false --reinstall --from-paths fkie-multi-agent-suite
Then build all packages:
catkin build fkie_mas_meta
or
colcon build --packages-select fkie_mas_meta
Client Side (Front-End)
Only for developer mode: Download and install JavaScript module dependencies:
cd fkie_mas_gui
npm install
npm run build
Usage
Run the app in developer mode:
npm run dev
The app will start automatically the local daemon and master discovery nodes.
Start only as node (without GUI)
Starts a server on default port 6274. You can override the port with npm run server – –port 6363.
npm run server
Then open in browser http://localhost:6274

MAS GUI
New Node Manager for ROS (1/2).
The MAS GUI is composed by two main parts: A Back-End component (daemon with WebSocket), and a Front-End Component (powered by Electron and ReactJS).
Install
We need to first install dependencies and run both Front and Back-End components:
Install dependencies
You need a running TTYD to show screen or log output of the nodes.
sudo snap install ttyd --classic
Update nodejs to v20
The code have been tested with NodeJS v20.15.0:
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Server Side (Back-End)
cd ros_workspace/src
git clone https://github.com/fkie/fkie-multi-agent-suite.git fkie-multi-agent-suite
rosdep update
rosdep install -i --as-root pip:false --reinstall --from-paths fkie-multi-agent-suite
Then build all packages:
catkin build fkie_mas_meta
or
colcon build --packages-select fkie_mas_meta
Client Side (Front-End)
Only for developer mode: Download and install JavaScript module dependencies:
cd fkie_mas_gui
npm install
npm run build
Usage
Run the app in developer mode:
npm run dev
The app will start automatically the local daemon and master discovery nodes.
Start only as node (without GUI)
Starts a server on default port 6274. You can override the port with npm run server – –port 6363.
npm run server
Then open in browser http://localhost:6274

MAS GUI
New Node Manager for ROS (1/2).
The MAS GUI is composed by two main parts: A Back-End component (daemon with WebSocket), and a Front-End Component (powered by Electron and ReactJS).
Install
We need to first install dependencies and run both Front and Back-End components:
Install dependencies
You need a running TTYD to show screen or log output of the nodes.
sudo snap install ttyd --classic
Update nodejs to v20
The code have been tested with NodeJS v20.15.0:
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Server Side (Back-End)
cd ros_workspace/src
git clone https://github.com/fkie/fkie-multi-agent-suite.git fkie-multi-agent-suite
rosdep update
rosdep install -i --as-root pip:false --reinstall --from-paths fkie-multi-agent-suite
Then build all packages:
catkin build fkie_mas_meta
or
colcon build --packages-select fkie_mas_meta
Client Side (Front-End)
Only for developer mode: Download and install JavaScript module dependencies:
cd fkie_mas_gui
npm install
npm run build
Usage
Run the app in developer mode:
npm run dev
The app will start automatically the local daemon and master discovery nodes.
Start only as node (without GUI)
Starts a server on default port 6274. You can override the port with npm run server – –port 6363.
npm run server
Then open in browser http://localhost:6274
Websocket communication
| Action | Message Format | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Message | {“uri”: str, message: JSONObject } | Publish messages to given topic (URI) |
| Subscribe to an URI | {“sub”, [str]} | Receive all messages published to this URI |
| Unsubscribe from an URI | {“unsub”, [str]} | Stop receiving messages send to this URI |
| Remote procedure call (RPC) | {“uri”: str, “id”: number, “params”: []} | id is unique request. params is a is list with parameters for the remote procedure call. |
| Reply for successful RPC | {“id”: number, “result”: JSONObject } | id is unique request id. |
| Reply with error while RPC | {“id”: number, “error”: str } | id is unique request id. |
Supported interface URIs
| Interface URI | Type | Function | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| ros.daemon.ready | PUB | => {'status': bool, "timestamp": float} |
Sent by the daemon at an interval |
| ros.discovery.ready | PUB | => {'status': bool} |
|
| ros.daemon.get_version | RPC | () => DaemonVersion |
see fkie_mas_pylib/interface/runtime_interface/DaemonVersion |
| ros.file.get | RPC | (path: str) => FileItem |
see fkie_mas_pylib/interface/file_interface/FileItem |
| ros.file.save | RPC | (file: FileItem) => number |
write file content to providers file system. Return count of written bytes. |
| ros.nodes.get_list | RPC | () => RosNode[] |
