Introduction

SyncTemp is a command-line (non graphical) tool that allows you to record the synchronous temperature measurements from motes running the the 04-synctemp OCSDK application.

It connects to:

• The SmartMesh IP manager
• (Over the air) The SmartMesh IP Mote running the synctemp OCSDK application.

Running

You can run the SyncTemp application:

• by double-clicking on the Windows executable at /win/SyncTemp.exe
• by double-clicking on its source files at /src/ bin/RawSerial/SyncTemp.py (may require additional steps on non-windows OSes)

Description

SyncTemp takes a configuration file "configuration_DO_NOT_DELETE.txt" with two parameters:

• connection_details - the serial port for the manager's API
• reporting_period - how often the motes will report temperature, in seconds. Default is 1 hr.

It will connect to the manager, periodically broadcast the reporting period to the network (here changed to 30 s), and print a line for each temperature measurement received:

SyncTemp also generates a log file in comma separated format "temperaturelog.csv" containing the timestamped reports from the motes.
