5. 5 UART API (cont'd) Check whether there is any data received from UART Check whether there is any data received from UART Read a single byte from UART input buffer Read a single byte from UART input buffer Send formatted string over UART using Standard I/O library Send formatted string over UART using Standard I/O library uint8_t byte = uartReadByte(); #include : printf("Hello, world\n"); printf("i = %d\n", i); if (uartInputLen() > 0)...

6. 6 Processing UART Data on PC Locate UART device file Locate UART device file  Run dmesg to find out  Usually /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyACM0 For textual data For textual data  Run terminal program such as screen, gtk-term, putty on UART device For binary data For binary data  Any UART library can be used  E.g., Python's serial package $ dmesg : [70063.712091] usb 4-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and.. [70063.871042] usb 4-1: config 1 interface 1 altsetting.. [70063.871056] usb 4-1: config 1 interface 1 altsetting.. [70063.895220] cdc_acm 4-1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device

11. 11 Configuring Radio Use config-mote.py script located in $MOTELIB_DIR/platforms/iwing- mrf/tools Use config-mote.py script located in $MOTELIB_DIR/platforms/iwing- mrf/tools Have mote enter bootloader, then run: Have mote enter bootloader, then run: E.g., set address to 234 and PAN ID to 555 E.g., set address to 234 and PAN ID to 555 Set channel to 0x1A Set channel to 0x1A $ cd $MOTELIB_DIR/platforms/iwing-mrf/tools $./config-mote.py $./config-mote.py --address 234 --panid 555 $./config-mote.py --channel 0x1A

12. 12 Radio Message Format Type and application data are provided by the application via Radio API Type and application data are provided by the application via Radio API Type (1 byte) 802.15.4 Header Seq No. (1 byte) App Data (max ~100 bytes)

13. 13 Radio API ( motelib/radio.h ) Broadcast a message (type=7) containing "HELLO" to all neighbors Broadcast a message (type=7) containing "HELLO" to all neighbors  Call txDone() when message has been sent  Use NULL when callback is not needed radioRequestTx(BROADCAST_ADDR, 7, "HELLO", 5, txDone); : void txDone(RadioStatus status) { : } radioRequestTx(BROADCAST_ADDR, 7, "HELLO", 5, NULL);

14. 14 Radio API (cont'd) Set a handler to process received messages Set a handler to process received messages radioSetRxHandler(receive); : void receive(Address src, MessageType type, void *msg, uint8_t len) { : }

15. 15 Example: sense-to-base.c Every second, each sensor node measures light intensity and reports to the base station Every second, each sensor node measures light intensity and reports to the base station  Assume base station has address = 0 Base station reports light measurements over UART Base station reports light measurements over UART Base station Sensor nodes measuring light intensity Sensor node

16. 16 sense-to-base.c void sense(Timer *t) { actorSetState(ACTOR_0, 1); sensorRequestAnalog( SENSOR_1, senseDone); } void senseDone(uint16_t value) { radioRequestTx(0, 1, &value, sizeof(value), NULL); actorSetState(ACTOR_0, 0); } #include Timer t; void sense(Timer *t); void senseDone(uint16_t value); void boot() { timerCreate(&t); timerStart( &t, TIMER_PERIODIC, 1000, sense); }
