  1. Lab 5 Objectives Use XMesh multi-hop networking service to send sensing data to a base station Using XServe to display the sensor data message on a PC

  2. Required Hardware and PC Setup • Two MICA Motes: MICA2 (MPR4x0) or MICAz (MPR2600) • One sensor or data acquisition board: MTS300 or MTS310, MDA100 is OK too • One gateway board: MIB510, MIB520, or MIB600 and the associated hardware (cables, power supply) for each • A Windows PC with MoteWorks installed

  3. About MyApp • Source code • Under directory /MoteWorks/apps/tutorials/lesson_4 • What does MyApp do? • In terms of sensing it is exactly the same as MyApp in Lab 4 • But how it sends the data back to the base station is different • Uses the XMesh multi-hop networking service • What am I expected to learn? • Learn multihop routing service in MoteWorks

  4. Review: MyApp Steps Review the Makefile Review the Makefile.component Review the Top-level application configuration Review the Top-level module Compile app and flash Motes View data via XServe

  5. include Makefile.component include $(TOSROOT)/apps/MakeXbowlocal GOALS += basic freq route include $(MAKERULES) The GOALS statement lists three services -- basic, freq, and route RF channel and the routing power mode not specified. Default values in Makexbowlocal will be used. The basic service Will provide the standard Crossbow routing services Common practice to have basic in all XMesh applications Unlike freq and route, there are no additional parameters with basic service The freq and route service freq and route power can be set later during compile time MyApp – Makefile

  6. COMPONENT=MyApp SENSORBOARD=mts310 Same as in Lab 4 MyApp – Makefile.component Note: we’ll need to use SENSORBOARD=mda100cb

  7. Review: MyApp Steps Makefile Makefile.component Top-level application configuration Top-level module Compile app and flash Motes View data via XServe

  8. Top-levelConfiguration • /* • * MyApp.nc • */ • #include "appFeatures.h" • includes sensorboardApp; • /** • * This configuration shows how to use the Timer, LED, ADC and XMesh components. • * Sensor messages are sent multi-hop over the RF radio • * • * @author Crossbow Technology Inc. • **/ • configuration MyApp { • } • implementation { • components Main, GenericCommPromiscuous as Comm, MULTIHOPROUTER, MyAppM, TimerC, LedsC, Photo; • Main.StdControl -> TimerC.StdControl; • Main.StdControl -> MyAppM.StdControl; • Main.StdControl -> Comm.Control; • Main.StdControl -> MULTIHOPROUTER.StdControl; • MyAppM.Timer -> TimerC.Timer[unique("Timer")]; • MyAppM.Leds -> LedsC.Leds; • MyAppM.PhotoControl -> Photo.PhotoStdControl; • MyAppM.Light -> Photo.ExternalPhotoADC; • MyAppM.RouteControl -> MULTIHOPROUTER; • MyAppM.Send -> MULTIHOPROUTER.MhopSend[AM_XMULTIHOP_MSG]; • MULTIHOPROUTER.ReceiveMsg[AM_XMULTIHOP_MSG] ->Comm.ReceiveMsg[AM_XMULTIHOP_MSG]; • }

  9. Comparing Configurations in Lab 4 & Lab 5 Lab 4 New! Lab 5

  10. MyApp (Lab 4) GenericComm component Function: Sends a message either directly through the UART port or over the radio If by radio: broadcast or to a specific node address. MyApp (Lab 5) GenericComm replaced by GenericCommPromiscuous Function: Adds special radio “snooping” capabilities required by XMesh. MULTIHOPROUTER component (appears as XMeshBinaryRouter) Function: XMesh networking service for multi-hopping GenericComm service is eventually used, but special routing information is added, which is hidden from the application Communication in Lab 4 and Lab 5

  11. Review: MyApp Steps Makefile Makefile.component Top-level application configuration Top-level module Compile app and flash Motes View data via XServe

  12. Top Level Module • The application’s module is MoteWorks/apps/tutorials/lesson_4/MyAppM.nc • How does it differ from MyAppM.nc in Lab 4? • Uses the MhopSend interface instead of the SendMsg interface. • XMesh implements the MhopSend interface

  13. interface MhopSend { command result_t send(uint16_t dest, uint8_t mode, TOS_MsgPtr msg, uint16_t length); command void* getBuffer(TOS_MsgPtr msg, uint16_t* length); event result_t sendDone(TOS_MsgPtr msg, result_t success); } The MhopSend interface specifies two command Send Send a message buffer with a data payload of a specific length. getBuffer Given a TinyOS message buffer, provide a pointer to the data buffer within it that an application can use as well as its length. and one event sendDone Signaled when a packet sent with send() completes. nesC Interface – MhopSendUsage Summary

  14. MoteWorks/apps/tutorials/lesson_4/MyApp.nc – Specification • #include "appFeatures.h" • includes MultiHop; • includes sensorboard; • /** • * This module shows how to use the Timer, LED, ADC and XMesh components. • * Sensor messages are sent multi-hop over the RF radio • * • * @author Crossbow Technology Inc. • **/ • module MyAppM { • provides { • interface StdControl; • } • uses { • interface Timer; • interface Leds; • interface StdControl as PhotoControl; • interface ADC as Light; • interface MhopSend as Send; • interface RouteControl; • } • }

  15. MoteWorks/apps/tutorials/lesson_4/MyAppM.nc – Implementation (1 of 4) • implementation { • bool sending_packet = FALSE; • TOS_Msg msg_buffer; • XDataMsg *pack; • /** • * Initialize the component. • * @return Always returns <code>SUCCESS</code> • **/ • command result_t StdControl.init() { • uint16_t len; • call Leds.init(); • call PhotoControl.init(); • // Initialize the message packet with default values • atomic { • pack = (XDataMsg*)call Send.getBuffer(&msg_buffer, &len); • pack->board_id = SENSOR_BOARD_ID; • pack->packet_id = 1; • pack->packet_id = pack->packet_id | 0x80; • } • return SUCCESS; • } The first change we see is a different message packet being initialized in the StdControl.init function. This module calls the XMeshSend.getBuffer command which returns a pointer to the payload area in the msg_buffer. Initialize the standard MTS310 packet with the default values.

  16. MoteWorks/apps/tutorials/lesson_4/MyAppM.nc – Implementation (2 of 4) • /** • * Start things up. This just sets the rate for the clock component. • * @return Always returns <code>SUCCESS</code> • **/ • command result_t StdControl.start() { • // Start a repeating timer that fires every 1000ms • return call Timer.start(TIMER_REPEAT, 1000); • } • /** • * Halt execution of the application. • * This just disables the clock component. • * @return Always returns <code>SUCCESS</code> • **/ • command result_t StdControl.stop() { • return call Timer.stop(); • } • /** • * Toggle the red LED in response to the <code>Timer.fired</code> event. • * Start the light sensor control and sample the data • * @return Always returns <code>SUCCESS</code> • **/ • event result_t Timer.fired() • { • call Leds.redToggle(); • call PhotoControl.start(); • call Light.getData(); • return SUCCESS; • } This section of the source code was seen before in MyAppM.nc of lesson_3.

  17. MoteWorks/apps/tutorials/lesson_4/MyAppM.nc – Implementation (3 of 4) • /** • * Stop the Light sensor control, build the message packet and send • **/ • void task SendData() • { • call PhotoControl.stop(); • if (sending_packet) return; • atomic sending_packet = TRUE; • // send message to XMesh multi-hop networking layer • pack->parent = call RouteControl.getParent(); • if (call Send.send(BASE_STATION_ADDRESS,MODE_UPSTREAM,&msg_buffer,sizeof(XDataMsg)) != SUCCESS) • sending_packet = FALSE; • return; • } • /** • * Light ADC data ready • * Toggle yellow LED to signal Light sensor data sampled • * @return Always returns <code>SUCCESS</code> • **/ • async event result_t Light.dataReady(uint16_t data) { • atomic pack->light = data; • atomic pack->vref = 417; // a dummy 3V reference voltage, 1252352/3000 = 417 call Leds.yellowToggle(); • return SUCCESS; • } • The next difference is that the packet must include the current routing parent • This is obtained by making a call to the XMesh command RouteControl.getParent Then send the message using the Send.send command specifying the base station as the destination and the transport mode as MODE_UPSTREAM.

  18. MoteWorks/apps/tutorials/lesson_4/MyAppM.nc – Implementation (4 of 4) • /** • * Sensor data has been sucessfully sent through XMesh • * Toggle green LED to signal message sent • * • * @return Always returns <code>SUCCESS</code> • **/ • event result_t Send.sendDone(TOS_MsgPtr msg, result_t success) { • call Leds.greenToggle(); • atomic sending_packet = FALSE; • return SUCCESS; • } • } As with the MyApp application of lesson 3 we receive the Send.sendDone event that signifies the message has been sent.

  20. MyApp – Compile and Install Program • Plug the Mote that will function as the sensor node into the programming board. • Click on the lesson_4/MyApp.nc file in Programmer’s Notepad 2 • Select Tools > shell. The make commands will be one of the following • MIB510: make <platform> install,<N> mib510,com<#> where <#> is the COM port your MIB510 is attached • MIB520: make <platform> install,<N> mib520,com<#> where <#> is the first COM port your assigned by your PC to the USB port • MIB600: make <platform> install,<N> erpb,<IP_address> Note: <N> = 1, 2, 3, etc.

  21. MyApp – Compile and Install Program • Next, plug the Mote that will function as the base station into the programming board. • This Mote will be programmed with a special application named XMeshBase located in the /MoteWorks/apps/xmesh/XMeshBase folder. • Select the XMeshBase.nc file in Programmer’s Notepad • Select Tools > shell • When prompted for parameters, type in the appropriate compile and install command

  22. Viewing Sensor Data in XServe • The next step is to verify that messages are being received at the base station by running the XServe application on your PC to display the packets. • Open a Cygwin command prompt by double clicking on the icon located on your desktop. • At the command prompt type • MIB510 xserve –s=com<#> where <#> is the serial port to which your MIB510 • MIB520 users: xserve –s=com<#+1> where <#> is the first COM port assigned to the MIB520 • MIB600 users: xserve –i=<IP_Address> where <IP_Address> is the IP address of the MIB600 • You should see output similar to the following screen shot
