tinyos addendum

note that the Atmel commands sbi() and cbi() work as set bit and clear bit respectively with the arguments the port numbers that need to be set and cleared.

These commands can be used to control the digital I/O on the motes.

TinyOS tutorial

Met with Katie Taller on 09-17-09

Gave her a brief intro to the motes and how to set them up plus transfer the srec file to the motes.

1. Intro to MOTE hardware
2. Intro to TINYOS installation using xubuntos.
3. Intro to make and loading

Export motecom = serial@dev/ttyUSB0:57600

Make micaz

Make micaz reinstall mib510/dev/ttyUSB0

Week 6

This week I read through the book TinyOS Programming (Paperback) by Philip Lew and David Gay. This has helped to shore up some missing expertise in TinyOS programming and I feel that I am now well prepared to fix my multiple channel code that has not been working.

Week 6

During ECS's meeting we concluded that our new potentiostat does not work and will be scrapped.

We have ordered new parts for breadboarding the new potentiostat and will compare this to our old potentiostat which is now working.

The old potentiostat has been put in to the casing for the new potentiostat. It has been tested and now works.

mib 520 mote notes

From Personal One Note notebook:

from TinyOS mailing list

The mib520 appears as two ttyUSB ports, the lower numbered one is for
programming and the higher numbered one is for UART communication. If
you try connecting the serial forwarder to, in your case, /dev/ttyUSB1
it should work.

Week 5

Meeting notes from One Note:

MSDA

• Did lab safety
• Run through with jeff
• Cannot work with benzene because it is carcinogenic.
• Use ether possibly

• Mass spec is down
• Trying to establish lower limit of detection
• MSDA will work with ECS, calibration of ether.

ECS

• Power supply is not critical.
• Look at whether the motes can read battery voltage
• Look at whether motes adjust for voltage changes.

Mark Johnson e-mail about pspice and availability of cadence.

UPS

-finalized mounting.

Oct 26th is the EPICS open house 5:30 PM
