Usage

Basic Commands

# Show general help
./bin/barbecue --help

# Report camera status and check if idle
./bin/barbecue report

# Check if camera needs warming (requires warm temperature threshold)
./bin/barbecue needWarming --warm-temp 10

Global Flags

• --addr string: Voyager TCP server address (default "127.0.0.1:5950")
• --level string: Set log level of barbecue (default "warn")

Commands

report

Report camera status and check if idle.

Connects to Voyager server, retrieves camera status, and determines if the camera is idle (temperature >= ambient and power off).

Example:

./bin/barbecue report --addr 192.168.1.100:5950 --level debug

needWarming

Check if camera needs warming.

Check if the camera cooling temperature is below the specified warm temperature threshold. Connects to Voyager server, retrieves camera status, and compares the temperature.

Flags:

• --warm-temp int: Warm temperature threshold (required)

Example:

./bin/barbecue needWarming --warm-temp 15 --addr 192.168.1.100:5950

Configuration

Barbecue reads configuration from conf/barbecue.yaml in the current directory. The configuration file should contain:
