Quick-Start Explained

Note:

Reviewed for release 2.3.0.

This page explains what actually happens when you run the Quick-Start Guide.

To make it more interesting we'll start the 2nd LaserMon and a new console window. Note that the config file we use implicitely is the same, lasermon.cfg.

$ cd ~/sys/quickstart
$ lasermon

The resulting system looks like this.

The next diagram shows the actual data flow in our system. The Laser2d component sends ("publishes") laser scans to the IceStorm event service which then distributes them to the subscribers, in this case the two LaserMon components.
