OpenIPC Configurator

A multi-platform configuration tool for OpenIPC cameras, built using Avalonia UI. The application provides a user-friendly interface for managing camera settings, viewing telemetry data, and setting up the camera.

Based off of MarioFPV's OpenIPC Config

Demo on YouTube

TODO:

• Fix UI and views
• Cleanup code
• Add more features
• Android and IOS versions coming soon!

Features

• Camera settings management: configure camera settings such as resolution, frame rate, and exposure
• Telemetry: view real-time telemetry data from the camera, including metrics such as temperature, voltage, and signal strength
• Setup wizards: guided setup processes for configuring the camera and connecting to the network
• Multi-platform support: run the application on Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms
• YAML-based configuration files: easily edit and customize camera settings using YAML configuration files

Technical Details

• Built using Avalonia UI, a cross-platform XAML-based UI framework
• .NET Core 3.1 or later
• Supports multiple camera models and configurations
• Includes logging and error handling for troubleshooting and debugging

Files and Folders

• Views: contains Avalonia UI views for the application, including camera settings, telemetry, and setup wizards
• ViewModels: contains view models for the application, responsible for managing data and business logic
• Models: contains data models for the application, representing camera settings and telemetry data
• Services: contains application-wide services and utilities, such as logging and SSH clients
• Styles: contains styles and resources for the application, including themes and fonts
• README.md: this file, containing information about the project and its features

Based on your folder structure, here’s an explanation of each project and what it likely targets:

Project Breakdown

1. OpenIPC

   • The core or shared library project that other platform-specific projects reference.
   • It likely contains shared code, models, services, or ViewModels that can be used across all platforms (Desktop, Android, Browser, iOS).

2. OpenIPC.Desktop

   • This project is intended for desktop platforms (Windows, macOS, and Linux).
   • In Avalonia, a "Desktop" project can target multiple operating systems using net7.0-windows, net7.0-macos, and net7.0-linux.
   • You can configure it to build for any or all of these desktop operating systems.

3. OpenIPC.Android

   • This project targets Android devices.
   • It will have Android-specific configurations and might use net8.0-android or net7.0-android as the TargetFramework.
   • Contains Android-specific files and setup, like Android permissions, manifest configurations, etc.

4. OpenIPC.Browser

   • This project is meant for web applications, targeting WebAssembly (WASM) using Avalonia's browser support.
   • The target framework is typically net8.0-browser.
   • This allows you to run the app in a web browser, making use of WebAssembly technology to execute .NET code in a web environment.

5. OpenIPC.iOS

   • This project is intended for iOS devices (iPhones and iPads).
   • Uses a target framework like net8.0-ios or net7.0-ios with iOS-specific configurations.
   • Contains iOS-specific files such as Info.plist for app metadata, Entitlements.plist for permissions, and AppDelegate.cs for application lifecycle management.

Summary of Target Platforms for Each Project

Project	Target Platform(s)	Description
OpenIPC	Shared (all platforms)	Core library or shared code used across all platform-specific projects.
OpenIPC.Desktop	Windows, macOS, Linux	Targets desktop OSs, can be configured to support win-x64, osx-arm64, linux-x64, etc.
OpenIPC.Android	Android	Targets Android devices with net8.0-android or net7.0-android.
OpenIPC.Browser	Browser (WebAssembly)	Targets web browsers with WebAssembly using net8.0-browser.
OpenIPC.iOS	iOS	Targets iOS devices with net8.0-ios or net7.0-ios.

Building Each Project

To build each project, navigate to the specific project folder and run the dotnet publish command with the appropriate runtime identifier for that platform.

For example:

• macOS Desktop: Go to OpenIPC.Desktop and run:

  dotnet publish -c Release -r osx-arm64 --self-contained
  
  

Using Semantic Versioning

When creating tags, follow semantic versioning:

• v1.0.0: Initial release.
• v1.0.1: Patch release (bug fixes).
• v1.1.0: Minor release (new features, backwards compatible).
• v2.0.0: Major release (breaking changes).
