Like this idea! I played with JS and blessed module before to do similar a “TUI” since for “status” things, GUI/web sometimes aren’t as quick or information dense. This is especially true with RouterOS, since winbox/webfig/etc are NOT very helpful to get an overview of operational state of a router.
I couldn’t get it work on macOS. Ran into several problems.
- The requirements get errors in tabulate due to collections/iterable, upgrading it got past that. So requirement used are:
numpy in ./venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages (2.2.5)
laiarturs-ros-api in ./venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages (1.1.0)
tabulate in ./venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages (0.9.0)
- The right tabulate package got to the following error, which I’m not sure how to resolve (api and api-ssl both enabled, right username/password in the ros-tasseract.json). I get this in the venv for your project:
$ > python3 ros-tesseract

- You might want to have some generic JSON that does not depend on LTE being present – if just to test it more broadly. I tried changing JSON too to be simpler too, just be address and routing - but got same error as above.
The API generally works with simple C-based ROS API client, so the API works more generally here.
Anyway, good work here… but, yeah, it couldn’t get it working…
