farsounder 0.1.2

Python client to communicate with FarSounder's ARGOS sensors

Python API Client for Argos data

Python client to communicate with SonaSoft via API.

[!NOTE] This is still under active development and testing. But may serve as an example for integration, beyond the lower level example in sdk repo. For now the docs are the interfaces and the examples in examples/

Usage

Clone locally and install (uv add .) or install from pypi like:

uv add farsounder

(or use pip, etc)

Then - for example to subscribe to TargetData messages:

import time

from farsounder import config, requests, subscriber
from farsounder.proto import nav_api_pb2


def main() -> None:

    # Build the configuration:
    # - where is the api running?
    # - what messages do you care about subscribing to?
    # - if ports are changed, they can overridden here
    cfg = config.build_config(
        host="127.0.0.1",
        subscribe=["TargetData"],
    )


    # Pub/Sub
    sub = subscriber.subscribe(cfg)
    # A callback to run when there are new target data messages
    # - don't do a lot of processing in here it will block (thank GIL - for now...)
    # - use sync mechanism if you're accessing shared data (callbacks
    #   run on thread pool [default] or on the receive thread for the message
    #   type)
    def on_targets(message: nav_api_pb2.TargetData) -> None:
        print("Got a TargetData!")
        print("Targets:", len(message.groups))

    # register the callback(s)
    sub.on("TargetData", on_targets)

    # start the receive loop
    sub.start()

    # Req/rep
    # for each of the request / reply endpoints - there are specific
    # get/set functions
    settings = requests.get_processor_settings(cfg)
    print(settings)

    history = requests.get_history_data(
        cfg,
        latitude=41.7223,
        longitude=-71.35,
        radius_meters=500,
    )
    print(history.gridded_bottom_detections)

    time.sleep(1.0)

    # Stop receive loop
    sub.stop()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Simulated backend

You can run a local simulated backend that publishes dummy messages and responds to request/reply calls:

uv run examples/simulated_backend.py

Note: the examples/ directory is not installed with uv add farsounder. Clone the repo to run the examples locally.

Development

Re-generate Protobuf stubs

Protobuf sources live in proto/. Generate Python stubs with:

uv run --group dev gen-protos

Or:

uv run tools/gen_protos.py

Tests

Run tests with:

uv run --group dev pytest
