Read the "SmartMesh IP Embedded Manager API Guide" (https://www.analog.com/media/en/reference-design-documentation/design-notes/smartmesh_ip_embedded_manager_api_guide.pdf), Section 5.4 "healthReport" notifications
What are the types of health reports you receive from each mote? Give a short description of each health report.
Answer 1:
How often to you receive a health report from each of the motes?
Make sure you receive at least one Device Health Report from one of your motes. What is the value of the "charge" field?
How much charge is contained in a pair of AA batteries?
Given the time at which you started the lab, what is the expected lifetime of that mote? Point out the major catch with this calculation.
Wait for a "discovered neighbors" health report. How many neighbors has your mote discovered?
Can your mote discover neighbors from other networks around you?
