ARK CLI Tools

Command-line utilities for interfacing with ARK products.

Installation

These tools wrap ftp_client from mavsdk-examples, so install that first:

git clone https://github.com/ARK-Electronics/mavsdk-examples.git
cd mavsdk-examples
make && make install

make install drops binaries in ~/.local/bin, which must be on your PATH.

Then install these tools:

git clone https://github.com/ARK-Electronics/ark_cli_tools.git

Add to your ~/.bashrc:

cd ark_cli_tools
echo "export PATH=\"$PWD/bin:\$PATH\"" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc

Usage

# List logs on drone
logs_list

# Download latest log

# Upload UAVCAN firmware
upload_uavcan <septentrio|teseo|flow|rtk-gps|cannode|[filepath]>
