Lab 5: Send sine wave to simulator

We can combine the villas signal and villas pipe tools to send a sine wave to a node.

In this lab, the node is a RTDS GTNETv2 card running the SKT firmware.

We use a slightly modified configuration file in order to change the UDP packet format:

nodes = {
   rtds_gtnet1 = {
           type = "socket",
           layer = "udp",
           format = "gtnet",

           in = {
                   address = "*:12000"

                   signals = {
                           count = 8,
                           type = "float"
                   }
           },
           out = {
                   address = "134.130.169.89:12000"
           }
   }
}

$ villas signal -v 4 -r 1000 mixed | villas pipe lab5.conf rtds_gtnet1
$ villas signal -f 50 -r 10000 sine | villas pipe lab5.conf rtds_gtnet1

As we can see in the diagram, the villas pipe tool also receives data which is sent by the simulator and prints it to the screen.
