[Tinyos-help] telosb with windows 8

2013-06-06 Thread Michael Schippling
Has anyone used serial port communication to a telosb mote
under Windows 8? I have a program that works fine under XP
but I don't seem to be able to get the right FTDI driver magic
under 8. We, may have, followed the instructions for loading
their VCP driver. When the program starts it detects that
there are devices on COM3 and COM5, but neither of those port
names actually connect to the mote.

To make matters worse I am debugging this over the phone with
someone who knows nothing about Windows on the other end, I
do not have any of the hardware to test...and its all TOS1.x


thx

Re: [Tinyos-help] Z1 High speed i2c accelerometer sampling

2013-04-16 Thread Michael Schippling
There are some intriguingly named files containing Stream and DMA
in the ...tinyos-2.x_main/tos/chips/msp430/adc12 directory. Some of
them even have comments which reference TEP documents that might
explain what they are trying to do. Maybe one of them will allow
you to run the ADC at higher rates...

In T1 with the mica's (what I know) one could free-run a single
ADC at low audio rates by bypassing most of TOS.

 We are currently using the Z1 Motes and sampling at 200Hz without

 starting to have problems. We need to sample at 1000Hz and we can't get
 there.

 I know that the resources of the platform are scarse, but i know that
 the ADC can manage those speeds, and as we don't have a analog
 accelerometer we neee to speed up all we can the ADXL.

 Is it possible to sample the accelometer at those speeds?
 If it is, ¿how?

Re: [Tinyos-help] Packet contents

2013-02-19 Thread Michael Schippling
I'm just starting to deal with T2's Listen and ListenRaw (under Ubuntu)
and found that ListenRaw has some kind of timing and error issues.
If I run it in a shell window it just hangs around and prints no message 
data, but if I step through it in Eclipse I get a few
lines of output before (it appears) that the read() returns a -1
and the main loop exits. However the internal read thread is still
running so the process just hangs at that point. I don't think I
have the patience to compare its operation to Listen which seems
to work OK, so I'm probably going to just drink the kool-aide and
move on.

I did run across a mention of an extra byte in the message header
when using some kind of secure messaging protocol, probably in one
of the TEPs (111, 113, 116 seem to deal with messaging). That would
offset your payload start, and maybe even mess up the length
calculation.

In the course of putzing with this I found that the tinyos.jar contains
the net/tinyos/packet/Serial.class which is used by Packetizer, but the
Serial.java file is missing from my source tree.

I can re-compile the source I have if I include the given tinyos.jar
but can't actually reconstruct the jar itself. I found a couple of
instances on this list of previous complaints about this file being
missing, but no offered solutions.

I got my source tree from here:
   git clone -v git://github.com/tp-freeforall/prod tinyos-2.x
as per E.Decker's instructions at:
 
https://github.com/tp-freeforall/prod/blob/tp-master/00b_Development_Environment

 i've already seen that tutorial and yes, it works fine. The problem I am

 to the message, but when I catch the message with the BS app, it overrides
 the last byte. I was thinking about deeper examination with the ListenRaw
 tool, but didn't get it working as expected. Is the BS/Listen app
 displaying all the received bytes?

 Oh and I am specifying the the length of the message to send (via the
 AMSend.send()) to be the size of my payload data.

 Hi there.

 I wonder how the packet delimiters work. Say I have two packets. If

 normally, the BS app displays them as:
 00 FF FF 00 01 00 22 80
 00 FF FF 00 01 01 22 80 00

 Now I don't know what the first 00 is, but the next  is the
 broadcast
 address, the 0001 should be my address, the next 00/01 defines the
 length
 of the packet data. What is the 22? What is the 80? Is it the
 delimiter
 of
 the data to follow? Obviously, the last 00 is the data sent.

 Now it gets more interesting, if I enable the in-line CBC-MAC with 4
 bytes
 output, I get the following.
 00 FF FF 00 01 03 22 B7 E2 4C FB
 00 FF FF 00 01 04 22 80 71 36 57 EE

 The question is mainly about the fact that the output is overriding
 the
 last byte of the unauthenticated message, i.e. the delimiter or the
 payload byte. Any ideas why and how to fix it?

It sounds like you've done everything right with Java and Eclipse.
Since the error is from GUI.java calling a javax.swing class I

Re: [Tinyos-help] PC to Mote Serial Communication

2012-10-01 Thread Michael Schippling
Almost...Unfortunately all my information is based
on reverse engineering Tinyos 1.x and I think there
may have been some changes in 2.x, so YMMV. I think
there is a TEP document on the docs.tinyos.net site
that might be clearer than me...

I have a package of Java code for host side reading
and writing of messages, but it is targeted at
a platform that I added (USBPIC) so {may,is} be a bit
more confusing than necessary. Here:
http://www.etantdonnes.com/DOC/USBPIC/JavaCommCode.zip

Also there is an old document that _almost_ describes
the format, but I notice that it is not quite correct
either (...it's missing the seqno field...) here:
http://web.archive.org/web/20060627154751/http://www.octavetech.com/pubs/TB5-01+Deciphering+TinyOS+Serial+Packets.pdf


Specifics that I notice right away...

First you are using the old mica2 AM.h format
which will not fly with the telosb. Look in the
telos platform directories for an AM.h file that
specs the correct header format, mostly just adding
some number of useless fields that can be set to 0.
(This may be hidden in T2, I'm not sure if the
basestation code translates telosb headers or not).

Second there are hidden message type and sequence
number fields immediately following the first 0x7E
frame byte:

Each message sent or received has this raw format:
   -- added by Packetizer.java framer protocol
 byte frame=0x7E;// framing byte...gets escaped in body
 byte mtype=0x42;// TOS message type -- used for status
 byte seqno; // incremented sequence number
   -- user message with appropriate tinyos Header
 byte data[MAX_LEN];// header and user payload
   -- added by Packetizer.java framer protocol
 byte frame=0x7E;

Then the tinyos header Length field is the _payload_
length not including hidden stuff and the other header
fields. In your case it would be 2.

And finally you need to deal with the escaping of
0x7E and 0x7D values in the message body and calculating
the CRC value correctly. It does _not_ include the frame or
escaping bytes...See the two links above for info...

Re: [Tinyos-help] Fwd: errors casting int64_t to float on MSP430

2012-09-18 Thread Michael Schippling
With a 32 bit float you get 24 bits of value and 8 bits of sign
so converting from an integer of larger than 24 bits will entail
some resolution truncation.

 Hello,

 On the MSP430, all floating points types are 32 bit.
 A cast from int64_t to float produces strange results:
 Negative values are rounded to multiples of -256 (tested for -1
 to 0)
 Positive numbers smaller than 8725651e09 (8.7e15) are converted
 correctly, tested at 0.1% intervals. Above this number, it
 sometimes, but not always, goes wrong by many orders of magnitude.
 Example:
 8725651e09 casts to 8725651e09 (OK)
 8725738e09 casts to 837068800  (extremely wrong)
 Some larger values still cast correctly.

 According to standard, the cast is legal, right? 32-bit float does
 cover the range of int64_t, although with some inaccuracy for large
 values. Or would this have been fixed in a later msp430-gcc?

 As has been pointed out before
 
 https://www.millennium.berkeley.edu/pipermail/tinyos-help/2010-November/048878.html

 FTSP TimeSyncP.nc calculateConversion() uses this cast, and it
 results in wrong skew values if the points in the timesync table are
 spaced enough for int64_t localSum to reach the faulty range.

 Setup

Re: [Tinyos-help] Fill first 8 bytes with memcpy

There's a number of strange and inexplicable things here,
but probably the problem is that you have not set pointer
to point to anything. Try something like:

uint8_t* pointer;
uint8_t buffer[8];
pointer = buffer;
call interface.function(pointer);

or even just:

uint8_t buffer[8];
call interface.function(buffer);


Also, unless you insist on using memcpy(),
you could make your fill loop like this:

for(i=0; i8; i++)
{
pointer[i] = i+1;
}

 Hi,
 
  
 
 I am using Micaz and Tinyos-2.1.1 together with the MDA300 sensorboard.
 
 Taking as base the code from 
 http://tinyos.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tinyos/tinyos-2.x-contrib/uoit/mda300ca/
  
 , I am actually trying to complete the driver for controlling the 
 8-Channel Digital I/O.
 
 On MDA300 the hardware component proposed for the 8-Channel Digital I/O 
 is the PCF8574A and its work via the I2C interface. Two of the 8 
 channels are used for controlling two Relays.
 
 In order to control the I2C bus I am using the codes from 
 …tos\chips\atm128\i2c (by the way, I have downloaded the last version 
 from the trunk).
 
 At power on, the 8 channel ports on the PCF8574A are high (value 0xFF)
 
 I have no problem in reading the data from the device, once an Interrupt 
 change from high to low the correspondent pin on the 8 channel ports, 
 but the problems arise when I try to write on the device in order to 
 control the two relays. In this case the PCF8574A stop to work. I am 
 sure is not a hardware problem, because with the Tinyos-1.x everything 
 is working properly.
 
 In order to debug the problem I check the Atm128I2CMasterPacketP.nc 
 file, but apparently everything goes smoothly being the status codes 
 called by I2C.status the proper ones (table  88 – Status Codes for 
 Master Transmitter Mode in the ATmega128 Manual) along the writing process.
 
 So, I presume that something wrong is happening after data has been 
 transmitted and ACK has been received, thus during and after the STOP 
 condition is sent.
 
 Also I have noted that the data is reaching the device, because I 
 verified that the correspondent bit on the PCF8574A port is effectively 
 changed, but after that the device become irresponsive. Also, if I try 
 to write the default value (0xFF) and in this case everything go fine 
 and the device keep working.
 
  
 
 Somebody has any idea how to solve the problem?
 
 There is a way with the Atm128I2CMasterPacketP to check the status just 
 before and after the STOP condition is sent?
 
 I should check with an oscilloscope the I2C behaviour, but I am not so 
 familiar with them, so I hope to solve the problem in other way.
 
  
 
 Thank you in advance

And let me just add: Good Luck With That.

Most of the tinyos controllers have very little RAM --
4-8Kb at most, and no math support beyond an integer multiply --
but sometimes it's a whopping 16 bit MUL.

If you can send your raw data to a real computer you will
probably have better results.

 Hi,
 
 If it's an uisp related problem, you can try to use avrdude for the
 older avr platforms as well with this command:
 
 export PROGRAMMER=avrdude
 
 After that, make should use avrdude instead of uisp.
 
 Micheal: Iris uses avrdude by default, so it's not really a platform
 dependent bug.

Re: [Tinyos-help] Random.Rand16() problem

2012-04-15 Thread Michael Schippling
I would assume that rand16() returns a 16 bit random number
so you will have to do some calculating to range it to 0-1.
But I recommend avoiding floating point on the controller side
whenever possible because there is no hardware support for it.

I don't know why you get the same number on each call as I would
expect the float cast to just give you the int16 values themselves.
Maybe try making your random variable an int and see what...

Also look at the Random interface, there should be some kind of seed()
call which would allow starting the pseudo sequence from a different
point on each of your motes. The easiest would be to use the moteID
as the seed on each device.

Re: [Tinyos-help] Need help with Tinyos-1.x TOSSIM

2012-04-01 Thread Michael Schippling
It looks like you have put something like this in apit.h:

#include mymote.h

If that's the case, mymote.h should be found if it is in
the source or include search path. The current directory
(.../apps/testingtinysec) should work.

Another way to try it is to find where apit.h is included
in your application source code and put a mymote.h include
on the line before it. Notice that, for some reason I haven't
fathomed, in NESCC usage out side of the module{} block is:

include mymote

without the s,.h, and 's ...

If that doesn't help we'll need to see your source files
and makefile to try to figure it out.

Also...you don't need to screen grab. You can redirect text
output in the bash shell into a file like this:

Re: [Tinyos-help] help lesson 4 - The java class is not found: TestSerial

2012-03-27 Thread Michael Schippling
I don't use TOS2 so I can't easily look it up, but it may be
that you need to include the full package name on the command
line which might be something like:

java net.tinyos.tools.TestSerial

Java wants the fully specified package name for all classes
it uses, even if you are in the directory that contains the
class itself. And it treats package and directory trees
identically, so you can imagine a jar file as an extension
of the directory structure.

Re: [Tinyos-help] Turn off AVcc pin on Telosb

2012-03-23 Thread Michael Schippling
AVcc is, unfortunately, exactly what it says: the Vcc power supply pin.
So, nope. Can't shut it off without shutting off the whole telos board.
You will need to use one of the other digital I/O pins.

Your problem is that a motor draws more current than can be supplied
by a regular output pin. If you just want to run your DC motor in one
direction you can use a common-emitter transistor driver to boost
the current. E.g. look for it here:
http://www.williamson-labs.com/480_xtor.htm

mshrehm...@gmail.com has also given you another option, using a
Hobby Servo motor, which contains a driver of it's own and is
operated using variable width pulses from a digital I/O pin. Along
with the ease of hardware interface you also get speed and direction
control, but you have somewhat more complicated software in making
the right pulses. Here's some more info:
http://www.horrorseek.com/home/halloween/wolfstone/Motors/svoint_RCServos.html
http://www.junun.org/MarkIII/Manual/kevin/servohack.html
Where the second site actually sells some of the motors. Usually
hobby servos are used for setting rudders and flaps and such where
you want to go to a specific angle, but they can be modified for
continuous rotation (I think there are some that are continuous,
but it's been a while since I looked).

I have posted code for ATMEGA timers and hobby servo control here:
http://www.etantdonnes.com/Motes/AVR128timers.zip
I don't know how easy it would be to port the timer code to MSP chips.
Also, should you actually need speed control, I've hacked the servo
back into the hacked servos by adding an encoder:

Re: [Tinyos-help] Vanderbilt AcousticLocalization java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

2012-03-21 Thread Michael Schippling
To get to the actual TOS release for the nescc builds under T1,
I think what you need is something like this in your environment
(on Windows):

# Set main pointers used by TOS build system to find files
#  TOSROOT is for external programs, TOSDIR for makefiles
TV=tinyos-1.x ## I use this to select specific TOS versions
export TOSROOT=C:/cygwin/opt/$TV
export TOSDIR=/opt/$TV/tos

I believe TOSDIR gets transliterated into a %T variable in
the Makefiles, i.e.: /opt/tinyos-1.x/tos

This is also required, but you probably already have it set:
export MAKERULES=/opt/$TV/tools/make/Makerules

Then, if there are extra bits of added TOS goodness in other
directories you can include them in the Makefile with PFLAGS
(this is probably what the VUTOS variable is trying to do)
like this:

EXTRATOS=../tos  ## or some %T/../contrib... directory

PFLAGS  += -I$(EXTRATOS)/platform/mica2 \
   -I$(EXTRATOS)/interfaces \
   -I$(EXTRATOS)/system

By figuring out where the files that the compiler is whining
about actually are you should be able to add the right directories.

Another option is to put it all together in your main tos and apps
directory structure, so you don't need the contrib searching...


For the Java problem you need to add the jar or root directory tree
that contains the classes of interest to your CLASSPATH, something
like this:

export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH;C:/whevever/your/files/are;

Search for CLASSPATH for more info than you will ever need...

 battery source to the port 1.2 in a telosb mote? or Is possible to use 
 an other port?
 
 ..
 new Msp430GpioC() as VoltageRef;
 ..
 VoltageRef - HplMsp430GeneralIOC.Port12;
 
 Thanks in advance.
 
 Yours faithfully,
 
 Alex.

Re: [Tinyos-help] RSSI with tinyos-1.x and mica2

2012-03-06 Thread Michael Schippling
Here's the battery section right out of the MPR/MIB User’s Manual:

--
6.4  MICA2 Battery Voltage Monitor

The MICA2 units have an accurate voltage reference that can be used to
measure battery voltage (Vbatt). Since the eight-channel, ATMega128L
ADC uses the battery voltage as a full scale reference, the ADC full
scale voltage value changes as the battery voltage changes. In order
to calibrate the battery voltage a precision external voltage
reference is required. The MICA2 uses an LM4041 (Mfg: National
Semiconductor) 1.223 V reference (Vref) attached to ADC channel 7.

NOTE:  ADC channel 7 is also used for JTAG debugging on the Atmega128
processor. MICA2s and MICA2DOTs ship with the JTAG fuse enabled. When
this fuse is enabled the input impedance of channel 7 is lowered which
affects the voltage reference measurement. The fuse must be disabled
if ADC channel 7 is used. See below for information on setting
ATMega128L fuses.

To compute the battery voltage:

1.  Set the BAT_MON processor pin (PA5/AD5) to HI.
2.  Program the application code to measure ADC Channel 7.
3.  Compute battery voltage, Vbatt, from Channel 7’s data by:

  Vbatt = Vref × ADC_ FS ADC_Count

where:
   Vbatt = Battery voltage
   ADC_FS = 1024
   Vref = External voltage reference = 1.223 V
   ADC_Count = Data from the ADC measurement of Channel 7
--

So it looks like you have it mostly right. And, yes, the final
result is the power at the receiver.

Make sure you notice that the Battery Voltage calculation is
inverted from what you'd expect: Full-Scale/Count because what
you are measuring is a fixed voltage using the battery as the
ADC reference...It does actually work once you puzzle it out...
I think you can probably ignore the NOTE about Jtag and maybe
just add a fudge factor to the battery calculation. Or even
just ignore the whole battery thing and use 3.0...

Also, if you are just measuring the RSSI of received messages,
a measurement is appended to each message in TOS_Msg.strength.
However I forget if this is the raw count from ADC-0 or if it
has been massaged into Vrssi or even RSSI. Searching the radio
code for strength should elucidate this.

Note that floating point calculations are rather costly as they
are done in software so you might want to use some other
methodology, or just the raw Vrssi...

 Hi,
 
 I am using the mica2 motes with tinyos-1.x. I want measure the RSSI 
 value at the receiver. My motes emit at 433MHz. From the datasheets I 
 have been reading I think that everytime a packet is received the 
 following should be done:
 
 -read the ADC_Count value from chan[7] of the ADC and use it to obtain 
 Vbatt in: Vbatt= Vref x ADC_FS / ADC_Count
 
 -read the ADC_Count value from chan[0] of the ADC and use it to obtain 
 Vrssi in: Vrssi= Vbatt x ADC_Count / ADC_FS
 
 -in the end obtain the RSSI value in dBm in this way: RSSI (dBm)=-51.3 x 
 Vrssi - 49.2
 
 Is this process correct? If so, is there a way to make the calculation 
 of the RSSI (dBm) on the mote? And last can I assume the RSSI value 
 computed to be the received power at the receiver or there is a 
 conversion I need to do?

Re: [Tinyos-help] syntax error (easy)

2012-02-22 Thread Michael Schippling
That looks ok to me syntactically so maybe there's something
else wrong. You might have a hidden character in your text,
if you can use a hexdump utility to look at the file you
could find something amiss, or, unlikely, also in the
FrameControl file too... Also try moving the lines and
elements around to see if the error moves with them.

If there were errors in definitions and such you probably
would get something besides syntax error.

Hopefully someone with better eyes will spot something.

Re: [Tinyos-help] UART sending series of commands to PC

2012-02-13 Thread Michael Schippling
Also I would recommend eliminating the busy-wait delay()
by splitting the whole sending sequence into multiple calls
driven by a timer. It's not much of a delay, but long-running
tasks may end up blocking other tasks which need resources.

Eric Decker wrote:
 It is very strange to be sending modem commands to a pc but okay if you

 You are using UartStream which is split phase.  You need to be catching 
 the completion event (signal) from UartStream.sendDone.  When the 
 sendDone comes in you can then start up the next string you want to send.
 
 The way you have UartStream.sendDone right now doesn't make a whole lot 
 of sense.
 
 
 If you don't know how this works you need to read the basic TinyOS 
 documents and tutorials.  Start with Phil's book.

Re: [Tinyos-help] Help Set-up

2012-01-17 Thread Michael Schippling
Oh Eric, Eric, Eric... Java is not that hard. At least compared to
something like the TOS build system. It even {used to be} a rather
rationalized and simple alternative to most egregious C++ shenanigans.

But anyway... There was one more question in the complaint list:
  WARNING: CLASSPATH environment variable doesn't exist.
  Your classpath should contain  and a pointer
  to the cwd (a dot)
 
Add '.' to your CLASSPATH... See if you can find a place where
CLASSPATH is actually set, in files like .bahsrc or .profile,
and add the dot to the list using a semi-colon ';' as a separator.
Or else do this:
 export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH;.

I explicitly set PATH and CLASSPATH in my .bashrc so I know what
I'm getting and {think that} I have some control over my world...

And any Java above and beyond 1.4 is fine for TOS, at least until
Oracle destroys the backward compatibility feature. I forget exactly
what went in at 1.4, maybe generics, but some TOS code won't compile
with previous versions. Someone should fix tos-check-env, no?

 What happens is that the linker cannot find the implementation of this

 Any ideas of how to handle this?! Any other possibilities of how to implement

Re: [Tinyos-help] missing address-of operator?

2012-01-04 Thread Michael Schippling
It's legal and sleazy enough that I might have done it...
I'd almost say it's doing nothing, because message_t*
already includes the message header. But a serial_header
may be a different size (hopefully smaller...).

msg-data is an array of chars and thus already a pointer
(I'm not sure, but putting an  in front of it might just
be a noop in this case anyway...). sizeof() is returning
something that is the moral equivalent of an int, and
subtracting that from a char* just backs the pointer
up that number of bytes. The whole thing is counting
on data[] being chars because pointer arithmetic is
done with an implicit sizeof(element) multiplier.

Of your other suggested options, this might be one
way to do it:

  (uint8_t *)msg + offsetof(message_t, data)

That gets you to the msg-data pointer again and
enforces that you are working with bytes. But you
might as well go whole hog and subtract the
serial_header size at the same time:

   (uint8_t *)msg + offsetof(message_t, data) - sizeof(serial_header_t);


Isn't C fun?

Re: [Tinyos-help] Ultrasonic Sensor with telosB

2011-12-18 Thread Michael Schippling
What fails?
Have you made it past the hardware interfacing?
Having trouble accessing GPIO?
Not getting a good signal?
Not able to time the signals correctly?

One problem may be that the Ping-thing runs on 5v and
the telsob runs on 3.3v. I think you can ignore the
over-voltage on the telos pin at low currents (even
though the specs say you shouldn't), but the telos
may not pull high enough to trigger the Ping. You'll
need an oscilloscope to see what's happening at that
level.

For GPIO there is some kind of GeneralIO component
and there used to be a 32Khz timer (and might even
be a micro-sec timer now), but I don't use T2 so I
don't know what they are.

Kushal Sarkara wrote:
 Michael,
 
 Thank you for your response. In keeping with the topic of our original 
 conversation, I am still trying to implement the ReadStream interface to 
 sample the MicaZ accelerometer. 
 
 After sampling at the prescaler setting that guarantees full precision 
 (which is ATM128_ADC_PRESCALE_64 for the MicaZ, according to my 
 calculations) and reading up on the SoundLocalizer application in the 
 TinyOS Programming Manual, I was wondering if there was any way to alter 
 the prescaler and use ReadStream (necessary, in my opinion, because I 
 want to append samples to the log as they are obtained and ReadStream 
 provides this facility).
 
 The plethora of ADC configuration interfaces makes it confusing for a 
 TinyOS 2.x and programming novice such as myself to figure out where the 
 prescaler is altered but I think that I've managed to figure out how 
 this can be done. What I am having a lot more trouble doing is figuring 
 out how the ReadStream interface configures the ADC. There must be a 
 point at which the ReadStream interface specifies what prescaler it 
 wants to use, right? This led me to search for a module for the 
 ReadStream interface but I have had no luck.
 
 So,
 
 * Is there a module for the ReadStream interface where the prescaler
   etc is set? 
 * Is it possible to modify the prescaler for ReadStream at all or is
   it perpetually set to ATM128_ADC_PRESCALE?
 * Is it a good idea to try to mimic the ReadStream operation by
   using something like Atm128AdcSingle.getData (like the
   SoundLocalizer does) and then trying to store each sample in a
   buffer, which would then be appended to the log? My opinion is
   that this will result in a lot of processing overheads (and make
   it really tough to program, but I don't see just that being a
   problem).
 
 I apologize for the lengthy post.

Re: [Tinyos-help] Sending array to the PC

2011-12-15 Thread Michael Schippling
This looks like a structure assignment which should copy
between two pointers:
 nmsg-neighbors = tableOfNeighbors;
but I think it might not work correctly with arrays.
You probably need to do a memcpy() to get the contents
of your table into the message. I'm a little rusty on my C
pointers (too much Java lately) so you may have to fiddle
with *'s and 's to get the two sides to be pointers
to the beginning of each array...as written I think
they should both be pointers, but obviously the compiler
doesn't agree...

Re: [Tinyos-help] Tinynode reading from serial port

2011-12-15 Thread Michael Schippling
You might be able to use basestation as a basis for your
re-Mote node, but I expect it would be easier to hack up
a demo app that reads from an internal sensor like O'scope.
The serial messages that basestation expects are the whole
TOS Message struct and your wind sensor probably doesn't
format it's data that way.

You are one the right track with the architecture, but you
should use the low level Uart component to read your sensor,
replacing the O'scope DemoSensor components. Unfortunately
there's not a lot of example code for that...but you can try
searching back on this list for discussions of Uart usage.

 Hello.
 
 I have a wind sensor with an RS232 output cable. I want to connect this

 its RS232 output cable and the tinynode 1 will read the sensor readings 
 from the tinynode 1 serial port. Then, I want this tinynode 1 to send to 
 the radio all the messages that it is receiving from the serial port to 
 a tinynode 2 that is connected to a computer.
 
 Basically I need to install in the tinynode 1 a base station app that 
 reads from the serial port and sends to the radio,  and in the tinynode 
 2 a base station app that reads from the radio and send through the 
 serial port.
 
 I thought I could do this by installing BaseStation on both tinynodes 
 because BaseStation is supposed to be a bridge between the serial and 
 radio channel in any direction. However, the tinynode 1 is not reading 
 from the serial port the messages that the wind sensor is sending.
 
 I also thought that I could change the Oscilloscope application to read 
 sensor readings from the serial port instead of the light, voltage or 
 temperature sensors. But I could not find how to change it.
 
 Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [Tinyos-help] Telosb light sensor specification

2011-11-27 Thread Michael Schippling
The tutorials may help in understanding this, but...

There should be a config file, in TOS1 mine is Oscilloscope.nc

It has these lines:
  components Main, , DemoSensorC as Sensor, 

   OscilloscopeM.SensorControl - Sensor;
   OscilloscopeM.ADC - Sensor;

Then you need to dig through the ratholes of platform directories
to find _which_ DemoSensorC file is being used. Sometimes doing
make tmote docs will generate some nice diagrams, but they are
about as hard to decipher as the directory structure itself. The
DemoSensorC I found for tmotes, again in the last T1 release, is:
 \tos\platform\msp430\DemoSensorC.nc
and it uses InternalTemp as it's sensor...

The Oscope supplied with moteiv -- the original commercial tmote
-- uses a set of sensors, none of which is Light...

Re: [Tinyos-help] Problems with Atmel128 I2C-Components (iris) with slow I2C sensors

2011-11-24 Thread Michael Schippling
Yes, TOS 1.x, which underlies Moteworks. Although I just noticed
that the last release of T1 has a hardware impl for I2C in mica128.
Here is what I used, including my small patch to I2CM.nc:

 http://www.etantdonnes.com/Motes/T1_I2C.zip

But I imagine that it will be fairly pointless to try to use it
as all the bit access methodology was changed in T2, so there'd
be a bunch of porting to do.

I also put the spec that I used to debug my problem here,
where the section of interest is 3.7 Clock synchronization:

http://www.etantdonnes.com/Motes/NXPI2Cspec_UM10204_3.pdf

My symptom was that I missed the first bit of the second byte
of data from the slow device and thus lost bit sync and failed
to complete that byte (if memory serves correctly...). I found
this by looking at the data line with a scope and counting the
bits...

If you really think your problem is the clock stretching issue
then it might be better to see how the ATmega hardware thinks
it should be dealing with it.

Re: [Tinyos-help] Problems with Atmel128 I2C-Components (iris) with slow I2C sensors

2011-11-23 Thread Michael Schippling
I'm not sure what you mean by slow, but here's something to check...

The T1 version of I2C for the ATmega used bit banging on the TOS
side rather than the controller's I2C hardware -- go figure
I found that it didn't recognize a wait-state-request from
external devices and would lose a bit when reading -- for the
particular device I was using, an SC18 SPI-I2C converter --
which would make it lose message sync and fail. I don't remember
the details, I think the external device can hold one of the
lines to signal that it's not ready -- I made up the name above
but that's what it's doing -- digging through the I2C spec should
turn it up. I fixed it by putting a short busy wait at the end of
each i2c_ack() which slows everything down but makes it work.

If you think this is what you have I can try to find more details.

 Hello!
 I have a problem with the Atmel128 i2c environment.
 I want to read out the k30 co2-sensormodul from senseair. 
 On this sensor the i2c communication is implemented in software. 
 Because of that there is an advice in the datasheet 
 that it might come to problems during the i2c communication 
 caused by the long response time of the sensor.
 
 The problem was that after an undetermined time the atmel128 i2c 
 components got in an incorrect state out of which the software can’t
 recover.The bus lines stayed high and the return value was EBUSY.
 The only way to make the software run fine again was to reset 
 the node with the watchdog.
 However this solution is inadequately.
 
 I analyzed the Atm128I2CMasterPacketP Component and found out that 
 while the node was in the incorrect state the Atm128I2CMasterPacketP 
 returned with EBUSY in the else-block at line 220 in the I2CPacket.read() 
 command.
 To solve the problem I added the i2c_abort(EBUSY) call in the else-block. 
 (1,2) 
 (same for the I2C.write() command, see software snippet below (2,3))
 After that it seemed to work fine.
 Now the software recovers out of the incorrect state.
 
 Had somebody else this problem or tested the atmel128 i2c components with 
 slow i2c sensors?
 
 Is it possible that in this else-Block should be a call to the 
 i2c_abort(EBUSY)-function?
 
 
 However there seems to be another bad state, which fortunately occurs more 
 rarely. 
 In this state the return value is EOFF and the bus lines also are in high 
 state. 
 I tried to add the i2c_abort-function in the else if block above,
 but this seemed not to solve the problem. (see the software snippet below)
 
 Has anyone an idea how to solve that problem?  
 
 Best regards!
 Sebastian

2011-11-23 Thread Michael Schippling
I don't know if what you are working with uses hardware
or software (since I've only used T1) -- if you have started
with Moteworks you probably have T1...

Look at the low level driver and see. If it uses ATmega
hardware I would hope that it supports the so called clock
synchronization mechanism.

Otherwise I put this in I2CM.nc to stretch the period
between bytes received a bit:


   void i2c_ack()
   {
MAKE_DATA_OUTPUT();
CLEAR_DATA();
pulse_clock();
SET_DATA(); // schip 8/12/09
TOSH_uwait(10); // -- to fix SC18 wait-state non-detect
   }

 Thank you for your quick reply!
 
  
 
 Yes I see my workaround isn’t such a good idea.
 
 With other I2C-Sensors (tsl2561 light sensor) I also hadn’t any problems
 and all worked fine. But with the k30 co2 sensor in particular something 
 doesn’t work.
 
 I also tried to slow down the i2c clock but it didn’t help.
 
  
 
 The co2 sensor uses the so called clock synchronization mechanism.
 Is it what you mean Michael?
 
  
 
 This is described as follows in the I2C- Specification:
 
 “On the bit level, a device such as a microcontroller with or
 
 without limited hardware for the I2C-bus, can slow down
 
 the bus clock by extending each clock LOW period. The
 
 speed of any master is thereby adapted to the internal
 
 operating rate of this device.”  
 
  
 
 Equally it is described in the atmel datasheet:
 
 “The slave can extend the SCL low period by
 
 pulling the SCL line low. This is useful if the clock
 speed set up by the master is too fast for the
 
 slave, or the slave needs extra time for processing
 between the data transmissions”
 
  
 
 Because of that I concluded that the Atml128-I2C components support this 
 mechanism
 but now I’m not sure if it works fine.
 Have anybody successfully communicated with an i2c sensor
  that slows down the master clock with this mechanism?  
 
  
 
 @michael
 
 Yes I think it is a related problem.
 If I don’t get it to work with the standard tinyos components I think
 bit banging will be the next step.
 Are there any sources? Can you give a hint?

Re: [Tinyos-help] request for help about tinyos compilation and jdk1.5

2011-11-07 Thread Michael Schippling
Amazingly enough the ROM/RAM message you got
is what's supposed to happen! So your compile
environment is setup right...

For the checkenv messages --

If you are not familiar with Java there's
a good wikibook and Oracle has a fine tutorial.
Then look around here for classpath advice:
http://docs.tinyos.net/tinywiki/index.php/Special:Search?search=classpathgo=Go

The version complaints are just old news,
if you have Java SDK 1.5 or greater installed you are fine.
The Graphviz is probably newer too, and it's only used when
making documentation pages.

Re: [Tinyos-help] Reading the usb port without the java Listen (what is the byte RSSI)

2011-11-04 Thread Michael Schippling
The message header, kinda by definition, is at the beginning of
the message packet before the payload. So trying to get the
header out of the payload is a non-starter... There may be a
Packet.getHeader() or some such method -- I don't use that
module so I don't know. Or you could probably get away with
a cast and structure copy like this:

   btrpkt-header = (ieee154_header_t) pkt;

I'm not sure what pkt is usually it would already
be a pointer passed in to your function from the message
receive code, so the '' may be superfluous.

Re: [Tinyos-help] Error while running net.tinyos.tools.Listen -- URGENT

2011-11-03 Thread Michael Schippling
ahha

I guess you are using a network base-station/programming adapter.
I'm afraid you'll have to find documentation for that adapter.
If you send the name and number of that beast maybe someone
will know how to use it correctly. I only use serial or USB
devices.

It will probably boil down to figuring out the network address
and port number to use with the -comm argument. I notice that
the value you sent: network@192.168.**.***:10002 has those
wild-card *'s which is probably not correct. 192.168... is
usually a locally routed net, so that part could be right.
Presuming that you used it for programming you should have
the right IP address someplace, I just don't know about
the :port #.

2011-11-03 Thread Michael Schippling
One of the features of the Mote-PC communication is that
the RSSI value is not included... On one hand it makes sense
because that channel doesn't have a radio strength, but on
the other, it causes lots of grief because folks want to see
the strength of the signal received at the base-station,

The age-old solution was to reserve a spot in your messages and

Re: [Tinyos-help] Error while running net.tinyos.tools.Listen -- URGENT

2011-11-03 Thread Michael Schippling
Sorry, but I can't help much further.

My assumption is that Listen should be able to connect to external
network ports, because it can do that with SerialForwarder. I know
that SF has a quirky message format that needs a preamble character
of some kind -- I think more like Telnet.

First I would make sure that the leds are blinking on both your motes.
Blink does exactly that, and most basestations blink when sending or
receiving. Then I'd look for _something_ supplied by your net adapter
that reads messages to see if you get anything.

 For the value which I sent which I specified as

 that 10001 port is for input and 10002 is for output. Again, you can
 modify the port number. I have set my port numbers as 10001 and 10002
 respectively for i/p and o/p, but it does not show me output on that

Assuming that you were getting good packets before making

is like the T1 version there is a Dump.java class that
does the output to the console: Dump.printPacket() is what
you want to change...this should not affect any of the
packet I/O handling. Also look at how other programs
do their message handling using a utility called MIG.

A message at the end of compilation should tell you
how many bytes of RAM and ROM are used by the program.
RAM is the declared variables and (I think) a fixed size stack.
ROM is the program code and constant variables. It is stored
in the flash memory when downloading. Note that initialized

them to RAM.

Moteworks uses TOS1 which has different functions than TOS2

Re: [Tinyos-help] Question regarding interrupt in Tinyos

2011-10-18 Thread Michael Schippling
We would have to look at your code, but most likely you
are not returning from the interrupt correctly.

 I am trying to implement the tone detector software in a Mica2 motes 
 with MTS310 sensor cards. The current problem is that as soon as the 
 interrupt is triggered, the system would crash. I triggered green LED to 
 toggle every a while and red LED will be toggled in the interrupt 
 callback function. As soon as there is a sound, red LED will be toggled, 
 and green LED will not be blinking at more, and there will be no more 
 response from the system. Does anyone know about this?
 
 Thanks in advance!

Re: [Tinyos-help] Global Variables

2011-10-17 Thread Michael Schippling
I was never able to get the names to resolve...
Instead I have an interface method that passes
a pointer to the global around to everyone else.
Do you have a good trick to avoid that?

Re: [Tinyos-help] Custom modules.

2011-10-17 Thread Michael Schippling
The doc/tutorial describes how to do this with the config file.

For a simple example, I think the Blink demo app has a config
file that links in a couple of external modules. Or look for
an app that has multiple .nc files (in T1 SimpleCmd has more
than one source file) and see how it works.

Jude Allister wrote:
 I have created a module that provides 3 interfaces.  It is called 
 LEDModuleC.nc and it includes a .h file containing things that module 
 needs.
 
 I am having trouble testing it in a different application now.  Is there 
 a specific file-name format I must give it instead of LEDModuleC.nc?  
 How do I tell my test application where to find it? Do I just #include 
 LEDModuleC.nc ??
 
 I was under the impression that if I put them all in the same folder, 
 the uses statements in the test application would make nesC look for 
 the stuff in LEDModuleC.nc.  I guess this isn't the case?
 
 
 also, I am a bit confused either way about what would go in my 
 TestAppC.nc and TestC.nc files to use the new module.  I looked at a bit 
 of the TinyOS examples/library files and I'm still not quite getting it.
 
 Right now:
 
 TestC.nc:
 // 3 interfaces provided by LEDModuleC.nc
 uses interface LEDCycler;
 uses interface LEDBlinker;
 uses interface LEDPulser;
 
 TestAppC.nc
 
 // can't exactly figure this part out.
 
 
 Hopefully this is something quick/minor to work out.

Re: [Tinyos-help] TelosB Digital Output

2011-10-12 Thread Michael Schippling
Once again, here's my cheatsheet for the TELOSB I/O:
 http://www.etantdonnes.com/Motes/TMOTEpins.txt
You can use any of the I/O pins for digital output,
but avoid the I2C ones as they are shared with the
radio. If you need to drive more than 10 or 20mA
you should use a common emitter transistor follower,
or if you've got a few outputs, chips like the ULN2803,
google will be your friend there...

They complicated the methodology of accessing the I/O
in T2 and I only use T1. I think there is a component
called MSP430GeneralIO or something like that for such
uses.

Re: [Tinyos-help] env setting for the tinyos

2011-09-30 Thread Michael Schippling
TOSROOT and TOSDIR are especially not right.
They shouldn't be defined as lists in terms of themselves.
All non-PATH variables should not have the second copy of their
name or any dangling ;. stuff:
export MAKERULES=$MAKERULES $TOSROOT/support/make/Makerules;.
should be
export MAKERULES=$TOSROOT/support/make/Makerules

And I'm not sure that having spaces in PATH and CLASSPATH
will work right either. The separators should all be ';' on
ubuntu I think. Of course cygWidows uses a mix, ':' for PATH
and ';' CLASSPATH...

I have multiple installed versions through which I switch
so my setup is a bit more complicated, but here goes. What
you really want is the last two lines with $TV set to your
version directory name:

---
### appropriate version/directory name and define
### MAKERULES and TOSMAKE_PATH as needed below
TV=tinyos-1.1.7   ### various back-revs, use 1.1.7 for RoboCar
#TV=tinyos-1.1.10 
#TV=tinyos-1.x### for MOTEIV/tmote
#TV=MoteWorks ### for MOTEWORKS

### set this for MOTEIV and back-revs
export MAKERULES=/opt/$TV/tools/make/Makerules

### set these only for MOTEIV (!not back-revs!)
#export TOSMAKE_PATH=/opt/moteiv/tools/make
#export MOTEIV_DIR=/opt/moteiv

### set this only for MOTEWORKS -- xbow put their Makerules
### file in a slightly different place
### and doesn't use TOSMAKE_PATH
#export MAKERULES=/opt/MoteWorks/make/Makerules

# Set main pointers used by TOS build system to find files
#  TOSROOT is for external programs, TOSDIR for makefiles
export TOSROOT=C:/cygwin/opt/$TV
export TOSDIR=/opt/$TV/tos
---

I may be overly superstitions, but on Windows I believe that TOSROOT
needs to use the _real_ windows path -- and be used for CLASSPATH
and any other external tool settings -- and the TOSDIR needs to use
the cygwin relative path. This shouldn't matter on a real OpSys.

MS




if you are on Windows TOS should be defined using the cygwin

Re: [Tinyos-help] Problem ADC with MSP430 in tinyos 2.1

2011-09-27 Thread Michael Schippling
There may be an overloading of AMSend names going on...

In the congig file try, instead of
 TestAdcC.AMSend - AM.AMSend[AM_TEST_SERIAL_MSG];
something like:
 TestAdcC.TestMessage - AM.AMSend[AM_TEST_SERIAL_MSG];

And then in the program file use:
 call TestMessage.send(AM_BROADCAST_ADDR, ...
and
 event void TestMessage.sendDone(message_t* ...

That's how I would do it with the old and moldy TOS1.x code anyway.

Create an Eclipse project for your app and link it to the

MOTECOM variables set right and make sure you have the comm

What you probably want is a PIR sensor (Passive InfraRed) like those
used in motion sensitive porch light fixtures. Here's one example:
http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8630

Note that they detect low-freq IR (around 10nm) which is what mammal
bodies radiate, and they need a differential signal from motion so
if you stand still (or wear a heavy parka) they may not fire.

 Hi Malissa,
 
 Depending on the platform you are using, your CPU may accept  float or 
 even double numbers. Also, depending on the architecture float 
 computations might be accelerated with dedicated hardware or not. 
 So the main points you have to verify is whether the extensively use of 
 float operations will decrease the overall performance of your system. 
 Of course, it is not the same to compute a numerical integration than to 
 average two numbers... 
 
 Another main point is the memory footprint. Float numbers typically 
 could use 4 bytes. So you must take care of how much available RAM you 
 have for your application.
 
 A final concern is that you can not use network data types (i.e. 
 nx_struct) for communications since there is not defined a nx_float type.
 
 The other option, instead of using floats, could be to convert to 
 integer, scaling as many decimals you want. For instance, 165.32 could 
 be converted to 16532 (remembering that it is multiplied by 1e2).
 
 I hope it helps!

Well...The MSP chip doesn't have a Multiply instruction (I'm a little
surprised because the ATMEGA does and I never bothered to look).
But it does do 16 bit integer Add and Sub so that's something...
Therefore you need to be very careful with your math, and possibly
hand-asm-code the inner loops.

Also access to the external EEPROM may be rather slow, you should
look into comparing the speed with the internal Flash memory for
your image storage. Probably transferring larger blocks of data
from ROM to RAM will help a bit too.

 Actually it almost worked!
 %lu prints 3354000128 instead of 3354000112.
 %lx prints c7e9fb00 which is 3354000128 hex.
 This can drive you crazy! Any ideas please?
 
 
 Without explicitly stepping through the code and seeing what it is

 I guess the implicit casting is trying to help you by
 returning the largest value for the uint16 when converting
 from a too-big float. When you change to uint32 you
 should get 0xC7E9FAF0 in your integer (which is what
 my Widows calculator shows as the correct conversion
 for decimal 354000112). Then, because the top bit is
 set and you asked for a signed decimal output %ld
 you should get a negative value, but it's off by 16...
  -940967168d == 0xC7E9FB00
 so I'm not sure what is going on.
 
 Try printing %lu or %lx and see what you get.

 Hello!
 
 I am using telosb motes and tinyos-2.1.0. I have an
 application in which some floating point operations are
 done and I wish to print (using PrintfClient) only the
 decimal part of the result. Since the printed value is
 not what it should be -it is always 65535- I wrote a
 simple program where I have:
 
 float y;
 uint16_t x;
 
  y=4354.542134509;
  x=y;
 printf(int(4354.542134509)=%__u\n,x);
 printfflush();
 
 I run
 java net.tinyos.tools.PrintfClient -comm
 serial@/dev/ttyUSB0:telosb
 
 and I get the 4354!
 
 If I change the value stored in y to:
 y=3354000112.542134509 then the printf returns 65535
 -the same value as in my application!  So I guess this
 is because the value does not fit into a uint16_t. I
 change x definition to uint32_t and %u to %ld (make is
 okay with that), but then the printed value is -940967168!
 What is the problem?
 
 Thanks in advance,

Re: [Tinyos-help] semaphore and tossim

2011-08-09 Thread Michael Schippling
Any sort of waiting is a bad idea in TOS because it is
non-pre-emptive. There is a threads implementation, of
which I know nothing, that might provide sync primitives
if you insist on doing it the way you describe.

However the pattern you probably want is fairly standard:

task1()
{
 someMessage.send()
}

someMessage.sendDone()
{
 // did it go out ok?
}

mymessage.receive()
{
 post task2();
}

task2()
{
// continue from here
}


Hopefully you can interpret my shorthand sketch

Re: [Tinyos-help] Pinouts of a TelosB SPI bus

2011-08-01 Thread Michael Schippling
hmmm...I haven't used SPI, on anything actually, but it
looks like they did not bring all the signals you need
to the I/O headers. According the the MSP430 Users Guide,
I think you need SOMI0 which is named RADIO_SO on the
schematic. You do get access to SOMO0 and UCLK0 as RADIO_SI
and RADIO_SCLK, and I think you can use them for I2C, but
there's not enough wires for SPI. I believe, from a quick
glance at the spec sheet, that an internal UART is used
to do the actual comm but the I/O pins are those of the
RADIO_* variety.

The CC2420 radio chip interfaces via SPI so you would need
to do arbitration in any case.

MS

Marcelo Coelho wrote:
 Thanks for the quick replies!
 
From what I understood, the SPI functionality is provided by the UART0 tx/rx
 ports and the I2Cclk (for clock source) and I2Cdata (for the slave select)
 in the 10pin expansion header.
 
 Michael: I liked the pinout that you pointed, specially the description of
 the UART1TX (?wtf?) :p

Re: [Tinyos-help] L operator in timers

2011-07-26 Thread Michael Schippling
You forgot to mention that big-endian numbers are
MUCH easier to read in hex, and even octal, dumps...

I rue the day intel decided to one-up motorola and
go little-ended. Computers will never be connected
to one-another after all... Between that and the
incredibly stupid p.match over CR/LF I'll bet the
world GDP has been dinged by at least 10%.

Given that the hardware message headers are NOT
nx_ types and that there is (in all cases?) some
kind of translator between TOS and e'net, IMHO
it is just-one-more-confusion to add big-end
numbers into the mix.

But back to TOS... One possibility is that the Timer
does not really use a full 32 bit value. Both atmega
and msp have 16 bit counters -- maybe there is some
software foo to extend that by counting the counts --
so a mis-aligned number _might_ wrap around and end
up setting a crazy count value.

Your experimental protocol seems to be the best approach.

 prior to intel processors being as ubiquitous as they are big endian

 And the powers that be selected big endian for network transmission

 It made sense because big endian network order and big endian puters 
 played well.  At least at the IP level.  IEEE did it different and the 
 h/w guys did it different.   Look at how we describe IPv6 h/w addresses 
 (like EUI-64).   Its easy to wrap ones mind into squirrly little nots.
 
 Then intel came along and frankly having TinyOS network order be little

 sent over big endian.   So who know what is the right answer.
  
 
 even though, e.g. the CC2420 hardware header values, are

 that is correct.   Which doesn't explain the behaviour he is seeing.

Re: [Tinyos-help] Loading / saving a array of uint8_t at micaz/iris nodes

2011-07-26 Thread Michael Schippling
 From my reading of the referenced page it looks like the
xml file is used to define storage areas -- like files --
in the external EEPROM, but it doesn't address initializing
the contents prior to running your program.

You could implement a message to send and store your key.
I don't know if there is any erase of external EEPROM done
when a device is programmed, so the contents _might_ persist
across new downloads and thus you would only have to do
the message thing once.

Another possibility is that there is a small internal EEPROM
area on each controller. In T1 one accessed this using the
InternalFlashC component -- which has probably changed names
in T2. This memory _is_ erased but can be initialized at
download time. I don't think TOS has implemented any method
to do this so you would have to dig through the controller
and download utilities to figure out how to do it.

 the right byte order. Does it work with reset(10)?

 Also, please define crazy timer

 Thanks a million Michael
 there still is something that doesn't work:
 if I do:
 call MyTimer.startPeriodic(1024L * (uint16_t) (sync_msg.app_period));
 where 'period' is a 'nx_uint16_t' inside the struct 'sync_msg'
 everything works fine
 on the other hand, if I use a function like:
 reset((uint16_t) (sync_msg.app_period))
 ...
 reset (uint16_t period){
   call MyTimer.startPeriodic(1024L * (uint16_t) period);
 }
 the timer goes crazy
 any idea why? am I doing something wrong casting the value?

 Hi,
 An easy question:
 What the 'L' stands for when assigning the period to a timer? for example
 call MyTimer.startPeriodic(1024 * 10L);
 it starts a periodic timer that fires every 10 seconds but what's the 
 meaning of 'L'
 I couldn't find it in google...

Re: [Tinyos-help] What is the maximum speed LED can toggle?

2011-07-23 Thread Michael Schippling
The usual thing would be to have a Timer
post a send() task, and use a busy semaphore
that is reset in sendDone(). Then you only need
one global message buffer.

If it was the receive side that hung up I would
look at how you free the internal receive msg
buffers.

But it might be best to post your code...

 Hi Michael and Eric, thank you for replying.
 
 It's the sending side that failed and I do not know how to debug a

 After extensive testing, it does seem like some kind of buffer problem 
 as it always give me a few successful packet then die if I am on the 
 40~50Hz but no packet is sent after that.
 
 Any idea?

 You should be able to flash the LED exactly as fast as
 you can execute a while-loop with a toggle in it.
 
 There may be a buffer failure. Are you freeing each

Re: [Tinyos-help] Using TelosB 2420 onboard sensors

2011-07-17 Thread Michael Schippling
Please send messages to the help list, not me directly.

I believe the doc/tutorial covers how to use the
ADC interfaces and the oscilloscope program.

Basically you should be able to replace VoltageC,
or even DemoSensorC itself, with anything that
provides the ADC interface, such as Photo or Temp
(which may be mica specific...not sure...I see
that my telos directory has a HumidityC.nc file).
Since I don't use Tos2 I'm not sure what they've
called everything.

Re: [Tinyos-help] net.tinyos.tools.Listen

2011-07-14 Thread Michael Schippling
Please send messages to the help list to keep a record of my mistakes.

The problem here is that Java doesn't know from /opt/tinyos-2.x...
because that's a cygwin thing. So your CLASSPATH should have a
real widows directory name, like C:/cygwin/opt/tinyos-2.x/...

If you have compiled Listen as well you should be able to run
it from the top java tools directory (from where you compiled).
Then the . in the CLASSPATH should find the newly compiled class.

 Then the argument -comm serial@/dev/tty/USB0; telosb

Re: [Tinyos-help] FTDI USB Serial Device converter disconnected

2011-07-07 Thread Michael Schippling
Are you sure that the device didn't actually disconnect?
Maybe the cable got wiggled, power blipped, or something?

I can't think of an easy way to debug this since it could
be anything from a bad cable to buggy software. Probably the
only workaround is to have the USB client attempt to reconnect
whenever it dies.

 The ip-driver is running and the tun0 interface works perfectly until, for 
 some reason, the USB disconnects!!!
 
 Happened many times already and always after a random period of time (few 
 hours or few days).
 
 Has anybody of you had the same problem?

 As you can see the USB went off after more than 2 days of activity!
 I suspect it's related to the USB hardware rather than applications but, so 
 far, it happens to me only using telosb.
 
 I google it a bit but I have not found solution yet
 
 Any comment is more than welcome

Re: [Tinyos-help] tos-install-jni

I think the problem is that your PATH -- which I believe
is what is printed in the output below -- contains these:
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\bin
\PROGRAM FILES\JAVA\JDK1.6.0_11\BIN

but the JNI files got installed to the JRE directory:
/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_11/jre/bin

Windows32 itself has a drain bramaged version of java,
I don't know what would be in Sun/Java,
and for some reason a standard Java install insists on
making two apparently identical JRE directories...
So there are many possible java's to run.

try: type java to see what you are really running.
Then set your PATH variable to have the jre/bin directory
before windows/system32

Re: [Tinyos-help] Measuring different dynamic properties

2011-06-22 Thread Michael Schippling
There {is,was} a stack trace module, maybe you can find
it by searching on this list. Since there usually isn't
any dynamic memory allocation, memory usage is probably
no more complicated than looking at the compile output.

Dynamic power consumption would be interesting but you
need to put a current monitor in-line with the battery,
which requires a bit of hardware-foo. Probably just a
few resistors going to an ADC input but I'm not sure
about the range you would be able to resolve. I have
such a thing on my robo-cars, but use an op-amp and
a completely different power scheme.

I've sometimes puzzled over making some kind of
CPU monitor. I think one could put a counter in the
task scheduler to measure how long the controller
sleeps on it's daily rounds. But that's about as
far as I've gotten with it

 time memory consumption, CPU used, etc..
 I have tried measuring the power consumption of these applications, but 
 I need more dynamic properties.
 
 Any help is highly appreciated.
 
 Regards
 Swayanti

Re: [Tinyos-help] tinyos-1.x

2011-06-18 Thread Michael Schippling
Try doing make again in the tools/java directory and see
if you get any errors, or output of any kind. If that
doesn't make the class files, post the output here.

You can also force a compile of a specific file like this:

javac -classpath . net/tinyos/packet/BuildSource.java

Re: [Tinyos-help] Tinyos 1.x+SimpleCmd

2011-06-15 Thread Michael Schippling
I haven't used either of those programs so this is
probably uselessbut

Have you run other test apps to see if you really
have communication through the system? Try CntToRfm
or SenseToRfm. And I think you should see some LEDs
flashing when messages are sent/received. Would have
to look at the actual code to see which ones though.

Re: [Tinyos-help] bitwise operation

Yes. It's plain old C. With confusing syntactic additions.

 Hi everyone,
 
 A quick question: are the bitwise operators in tinyOS the same with
 the c ones? e.g.  for bitwise AND and ~for NOT.
 
 Thanks a lot.

Re: [Tinyos-help] Distance Calculations with RSSI

2011-06-14 Thread Michael Schippling
search for rssi location and various other combinations.
there has been a lot of work done on this, and none of it
is very accurate.

Matthew Jacques wrote:
 Hello,
 
 I am currently trying to build a WSN using MicaZ motes and I need to 
 know, to a fair degree of accuracy, how far apart one node is from 
 another. I was reading up on how it is possible in some cases to use 
 RSSI and LQI to achieve this. I tried taking measurements of average 
 RSSI when the nodes were 1.5, 2 and 2.5 meters apart but the results 
 were very erratic. While I did notice that the RSSI tended to be higher 
 when the nodes were further away from each other, the results were not 
 accurate enough to place the node within even 4 meters of its actual 
 location. 
 
 Is RSSI not an accurate enough way to get the precision I need?  If not 
 is there any other method I can use to get the distance between nodes?
 
 I was also thinking of maybe using the system time of the nodes to time 
 how long a signal took to travel between them but I figured that with 
 the time to send and the turnaround time of the message in the other 
 node this would be a pretty inaccurate way to do it. Is that even worth 
 trying?
 
 Thanks,
 
 Matthew Jacques

Re: [Tinyos-help] Adding precision to sensor data obtained

2011-06-10 Thread Michael Schippling
Pretty much all sensors readings on TOS devices are
integer values directly from the ADC -- some few, like
Voltage, may be may be mangled for range and level
but are probably also ints. IIRC the telosb has a 12
bit converter so you should have 0-4095 as your values,
which is a resolution of about .00025 per bit. You may
convert that to floating point to about 4 decimal places
if you like.

Re: [Tinyos-help] Adding precision to sensor data obtained

2011-06-10 Thread Michael Schippling
Assuming that the readings you are getting are,
as I suggested, the raw ADC values from 0-4095
you can convert them to a voltage by multiplying
by the ADC's reference voltage -- nominally 3.3v.
So a 0 value is equal to 0 volts and a full scale
4095 value is equal to 3.3v. The reading you get
is some fraction in between those:

(value / full-scale) * refVolts

example, if your value happens to be 2000:

(2000 / 4095) * 3.3 == 1.6117 volts

I would take the last couple digits with a grain
of salt because the system is usually pretty noisy,
and I'm not really bright enough to figure out if
the theoretical precision is 3 or 4 decimal points
anyway.

Now your sensor may need some calibration and scaling
so the conversion you use will probably have a form
like (Mx + B), where M is a scale factor and B is an
offset, both of which you might derive from spec sheets
or brute force measurements.

What are you sensing anyway?
MS

Re: [Tinyos-help] Using UART and Radio in MicaZ on MoteWorks

2011-06-09 Thread Michael Schippling
The MultihopMsg struct contains:
   uint16_t sourceaddr;
   uint16_t originaddr;
which you may be able to use to determine where the
message came from.

But you may be using the raw uart code to communicate
between a micaz and some other device. Then you won't be
using AM or MultiHop messages, so the interfaces will be
different anyway.

 I am using MicaZ with MoteWorks on Windows XP.
 
 I am trying to implement a network bridge where the mote has to 
 communicate over UART to a attached device (a micro controller running 
 some algorithms) and also communicate with other similar mote-device 
 setups.
 
 By my understanding, there are two send interfaces which i can use for 
 the wireless and UART channels respectively. But there is only one 
 receive interface that has to handle both.
 
 My doubt is this - how do i differentiate where the packet is coming 
 from if this is the case?? As MoteWorks seems very restricted in terms 
 of the library files it contains.
