In-Development EDCAS - Elite Dangerous Commander Assistant System

o7 cmdrs!
I want to present you a project, I've been working on at the moment: the Elite Dangerous Commander Assistant System (or in short EDCAS).
It is a project, currently developed and maintained only by me.
The main part of the project is the edcas client written in rust.
It is a little

tool to mainly help explorers to fetch system data in one view. It contains some other small things like a material tracker and some information for mining. Many other features are planned.
Around the client there many other modules which work together to create an own ecosystem.
There is an indexer with an own database and an API to access it. The data gets shared over system called the tange which is based on the IOTA protocol (Shimmer to be more specific). The goal is to provide an account-like feeling without ever creating an account by using private and public keys. The benefits of that is, that as soon as you interacted once with this system, you automatically have an "account" on every application based on it.

A engineer trackers,commodity finder, trade route planner und stuff like that is also planned.
But this is all future talk.

The reason why I am doing this is that I just like do learn about those technologies and love implementing them.
I especially want to share the edcas client because I think that other people might like to use it too, so have fun with it!.
I tried to make it as customizable as it gets so that you can give it the feel and taste you like.
I'll try to update the current project status in this thread and I hope that I get some feedback from those who are interested!

Version 0.2.3 has been released yesterday. Some api calls have been implemented. System data is being fetched now from the edcas network, if available.
You can go and download the new version here on GitHub
 
Hello Cmdr FexX,

Yesterday i downloaded your tool (windows version) and installed it to have a look at it.
My first question would be: does it support data from Live (4.0) only or does it support Legacy (3.8) as well?

As I am momentarily mainly playing in Legacy the tool does not seem to react to the in-game actions.
It only showed the amount of cargo i had (limpets) and reacted to the mining i did.
But it did not show the prospector information?

The tab exploring did not show anything after scanning with the Honk, FSS or DSS?
Also the tab materials did not show the amount of materials that I have.

I have installed the tool in a alternate directory on drive D:/ where I put all my other game related stuff.
The cmd window that pops up when starting the tool show that a expected variable is not found?
Could this be a problem?

Thanks for your answers.
Curious to see in what direction this tool develops.

Hello Cmdr Hi,JoBe
the tool has never been tested against legacy mode. If you are interested to see it running in legacy I can surely invest some time to do so. You can ignore the error you see there. It just says the it can't find the home folder, which is okay. It just will save its files in the local folder.
You may want to share the latest log in the logs folder so I can look into, why it is not picking up the information. (I guess it can't find the journal log since it may be in another format in legacy).
Thanks and fly safe cmdr!
 
o7 cmdrs!

Quick note, that version 0.3.0 has just been released. We are beginning to utilize our new backend which is based on a dencentralized network. Already discovered system will be shown in edcas. There are also 2 new tabs to search for registered stations and carriers which is a start of the interaciton with the edcas network.

We also provide more terminal commands and a terminal version of edcas thanks to community contributions!

Thanks and fly safe cmdrs!
