1. What to expect

The V-Raptor is comprised of several microservices that work together to process and transmit telemetry values from each connected physical device to Commander. The V-Raptor Driver executes Device Interfaces (or Devices) that represent these physical devices and send telemetry to other Services in the V-Raptor.

The following sections will help the user get started with the V-Raptor Driver’s SDK. The Driver SDK sets up and initialises Device Interfaces that represent external telemetry sources. Once installed, this kit provides all the boilerplate code a user would need to easily set up these Device Interfaces and send telemetry to Commander.

What to expect

The guide that follows will show how to:

• Install, set up and run the V-Raptor SDK package template.
• Choose applicable Device templates to support application requirements.
• Connect to the V-Raptor.
• Build gateways to link Devices to endpoints in Commander Digital Twins.
• Build telemetry packets.
• Configure Devices.
• Add Metrics.
• Troubleshoot solutions.
• Adhere to best practice principles when building the SDK for a specific application.
