This repository contains some plugins for RealTime OpenControl (RTOC).

You can download RTOC from its repository.

To add a plugin to RTOC you need to do the following steps:

1. Install RTOC (pip3 install RTOC)
   • You will need to run RTOC once
2. Copy the folder of the desired plugin to your RTOC-Userpath: ~/.RTOC/devices/
3. Now restart RTOC (python3 -m RTOC)

If you want a plugin to start with RTOC, you can add it to the autorun_devices file.

echo 'YOUR_DEVICENAME' >> ~/.RTOC/autorun_devices

• Template: An example, showing how to create a simple plugin to send data to RTOC

• DPS5020: Plugin for DPS powersupplies. It can monitor all data and you can set Voltage, Current and switch it on/off. Uses USB to read data.

• Funktionsgenerator: Default-plugin of RTOC. Generates common signals.

• holdPeak_VC820: Plugin for VC820 multimeters. It can monitor the measured values with correct units. Uses USB/Minimalmodbus to read data.

• INA219_Modul: Plugin for INA219 solar module. Monitors voltage, current, power and shunt_voltage

• Octotouch: Plugin for 3D-printer-software Octotouch. It can just monitor the temperatures. Uses HTTP/JSON to read data.

• PIKO_Solarmodules: Plugin for PIKO solar modules. Monitors voltage, current and power

• System: Plugin to monitor system-information like CPU, Memory, ...

• ReflowOfen/ReflowPlatte: Plugin, which reads data from local network-devices HTTP-address.

• Heliotherm: Plugin, which reads data from Heliotherm heat pump using TCP/Modbus.

• Futtertrocknung: Embedded-Plugin. Plugin, which is used to run on a RaspberryPi. Monitors some sensor-data.
