Crossbow Mica2/Mica2Dot mote sensor node. More...

Crossbow Mica2/Mica2Dot mote sensor node.

The mica2 driver controls the Crossbow Mica2/Mica2DOT mote sensor node. The MTS310 and MTS510 boards are supported, as well as the M1-mini RFID reader board.

Compile-time dependencies

• none

Provides

• wsn
• rfid

Requires

• none

Configuration requests

• PLAYER_WSN_REQ_POWER
• PLAYER_WSN_REQ_DATATYPE
• PLAYER_WSN_REQ_DATAFREQ
• PLAYER_RFID_REQ_READTAG
• PLAYER_RFID_REQ_WRITETAG

Configuration file options

• port (string)
  • Default: "/dev/ttyS0"
  • Serial port to which the Crossbow MIB510 is attached. If you are using a USB/232 or USB/422 converter, this will be "/dev/ttyUSBx".

• speed (integer)
  • Default: 57600
  • Baud rate. Valid values are 19200 for MICA2DOT and 57600 for MICA2.

• node (integer tupple)
  • These are the calibration values for -1G/+1G for the ADXL202JE accelerometer sensor (see the appropriate data sheet on how to obtain it). Each sepparate board *MUST* be calibrated! Only usable when requesting data in converted metric units mode.
  • The tuple means: [node_id group_id calibration_negative_1g_x_axis calibration_positive_1g_x_axis calibration_negative_1g_y_axis calibration_positive_1g_y_axis calibration_negative_1g_z_axis calibration_positive_1g_z_axis ]

• converted (integer)
  • Default: 1.
  • Fill the data buffer with converted engineering units (1) or RAW (0) values.

• filterbasenode (integer)
  • Default: 0.
  • Filter the base node (ID 0) in case there is another application != TOSBase installed on it.

Example

driver
(
  name "mica2"
  provides ["wsn:0" "rfid:0"]
  port "/dev/ttyS0"
  speed "57600"
  # Calibrate node 0 from group 125 (default) with X={419,532} and Y={440,552}
  node [0 125 419 532 440 552 0 0]
  # Calibrate node 2 from group 125 (default) with X={447,557} and Y={410,520}
  node [2 125 447 557 410 520 0 0]
  # Use RAW values
  converted 0
  # Filter the base node (in case TOSBase is not installed on it)
  filterbasenode 1
)
