Deep-dive into the OAP Protocol — The “On-chip Application Protocol“ (OAP) runs on all SmartMesh IP motes running in Master mode. See how you can interact with it to sample temperature, set/get the state GPIO pins, and trigger ADC readings.
-
Interface your mote to a CC3200 — Interface a CC3200 to a mote using the SmartMesh C library!
-
Interface your mote to a Force-Sensitive Resistor — An example On-Chip Software Development Kit project in which we integrate a low-cost force-sensitive resistor.
-
Interface your Mote to a Sensirion Temperature/Humidity Sensor — Sensirion I2C temperature/humidity sensors are almost trivially easy to use with the On-Chip SDK. In this recipe, we connect a mote to the SHT21.
-
Interface your Mote to a Thermocouple — We use the DC9005 Eterna QuikEval Adapter to connect the mote to an LTC2984 Multi-Sensor High Accuracy Digital Temperature Measurement System Demo Board to read a K-type thermocouple.
"CLIB" recipes
-
How the C library issues commands — We show how the C Library issues commands to your SmartMesh device.
-
Interface your mote to a CC3200 — Interface a CC3200 to a mote using the SmartMesh C library!
