device-access

Hardware tools must run on the host the device is plugged into. A cloud agent cannot see your USB ports. Run npx @ruvnet/ruview locally, start a local Claude Code session there (claude remote-control in the repo if you want to drive it from the Claude app), or add the machine as an SSH host.

1. Find devices

npx @ruvnet/ruview doctor --group python,serial,devices,remote
npx @ruvnet/ruview devices          # USB VID:PID → likely ESP32 / mmWave / RPLIDAR + confirm command

2. Read each modality

Device	Command	Confirms
ESP32 node (USB)	ruview doctor --port <p> --probe, ruview monitor --port <p>	chip id; CSI callbacks in the serial log (the monitor never resets the node; C6/S3 USB-Serial/JTAG builds log on the native USB port)
ESP32 / Realtek node (network)	ruview esp32 --seconds 10 [--udp-port 5005]	per-node CSI rate, sequence loss, RSSI, CSI shapes, device vitals; Realtek RAC1 CSI and heartbeat-only senders
Realtek RTL8721Dx (USB, PL2303)	ruview monitor --port <p> --baud 1500000	RUVIEW_CSI: frame # lines in the Ameba log
Live CSI → kernel	ruview esp32 --seconds 45 --analyze [--node-id N] [--backend napi]	kernel vitals summary at the measured frame rate (no reference measurement)
60 GHz MR60BHA2	ruview mmwave --port <p> --model mr60bha2	valid frames, checksum errors, presence/distance/device HR+BR
24 GHz LD2410	ruview mmwave --port <p> --model ld2410	target state and distances
RPLIDAR	ruview lidar --source rplidar --port <p> [--baud 115200]	points, revolutions, range, angular coverage
iPhone LiDAR	export RUVIEW_LIDAR_TOKEN=…; ruview lidar --source iphone --url ws://HOST:8787/ws/lidar	depth frame rate, confident fraction, median depth

The UDP capture cannot share port 5005 with a running sensing server; stop the server or have the nodes target another port.

3. Other machines (SSH, read-only)
