Dusty is a fully SmartMesh IP capable module commercialized by IOTeam (www.ioteam.it).
IoTteam sell sells two versions of the Dusty:
...
- the DC9003 SmartMesh IP Eval/Dev Mote (http://www.linear.com/solutions/3106), manufactured by Analog Devices
- the LTP5901 SmartMesh IP Wireless 802.15.4e PCBA Module (http://www.linear.com/product/LTP5901-IPM), manufactured by Analog Devices
- two Dusty motes on their breakout boards, one with a u.Fl connector, the other with a PCB antenna. Manufactured , manufactured by IoTeam

The Dusty mote feature features exactly the same LTC5800 chip as the other modules depicted above. This means that the Dusty mote, although it has a different form factor, behaves exactly the same as any of these modules. It is obviously possible to build networks with a combination of Dusty and non-Dusty SmartMesh IP devices. |
...
This allows you to use the standards standard Dust interface boards and programmers to connect to Dusty:

Both options depicted above are equivalent. |

Firing up the Mote
By default, the mote is is in slave mode. If you want the mote to join a manager automatically (i.e. without external micro-controller), you can switch it to "master" mode

| Note | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
During this step, I use a DC2274 board as a manager, to verify the Dusty mote connects to it.

The difference between a manager and a mote is just the firmware. Their hardware is otherwise entirely equivalent. In particular, you power and connect to the board the same way. |

Because the Dusty breakout does not come with external memory, you can connect at most 32 motes to it (the "maxmotes" fields belowfield below includes 32 motes and 1 manager)

I have 13 additional non-Dusty SmartMesh IP motes running in master mode for the following step. |
You can see motes joining this managerthat 13 motes, with MoteId 2 through 14, have joined the manager with MoteId 1
