TeCo Particle Router Core (XBridge) sensor node. More...

TeCo Particle Router Core (XBridge) sensor node.

The rcore_xbridge driver controls the TeCo Particle Router Core sensor node, using the XBridge. The SSimp Full board is supported.

Compile-time dependencies

• none

Provides

• wsn

Requires

• none

Configuration requests

• PLAYER_WSN_REQ_POWER (to be implemented)
• PLAYER_WSN_REQ_DATATYPE
• PLAYER_WSN_REQ_DATAFREQ (to be implemented)

Configuration file options

• port (integer)
  • Default: 5555
  • TCP port to which the XBridge data gets broadcasted.

• node (integer tupple)
  • These are the calibration values for -1G/+1G for the ADXL210 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. Possible values: 0, 1, 2. (0=RAW, 1=m/s^2, 2=G)
  • Fill the data buffer with converted engineering units (1,2) or RAW (0) values.

• readppacket (integer)
  • Default: 8.
  • How many readings does the Particle send in one packet? (using multiple readings per packet, will increase the sample rate). Note: Use 0 as a special value for enabling the standard TeCo SSIMP mode (multiple tuples).

Example

driver
(
  name "rcore_xbridge"
  provides ["wsn:0"]
  port 5555
  # 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 converted engineering units (G)
  converted 2
)
