The default 

SmartMesh IP

 mote running in "Master" mode runs an application called "OAP". Talking to that application allows one to have the mote sample temperature, set the LED, etc. The OapClient sample application allows you to do that over the command line. It does similar things as the TempMonitor and PkGen app, but over a command line interface.

Make sure that the motes you want to control with the OapClient app are running the default

SmartMesh IP

firmware, in Master mode.

We assume that the motes are on and that the network is formed.

  • start the application by double-clicking on OapClient.py

  • connect to the manager using the following command. The application lists the motes currently operational.

    > connect COM23

Operational motes:
0: 00-17-0d-00-00-38-05-da
1: 00-17-0d-00-00-38-03-ca
2: 00-17-0d-00-00-38-06-45
3: 00-17-0d-00-00-38-03-69
4: 00-17-0d-00-00-38-06-6a
5: 00-17-0d-00-00-38-04-35
6: 00-17-0d-00-00-38-07-18

Currently using mote 0 (00-17-0d-00-00-38-05-da).
notifications are ON.
logging to logfile is OFF.

The following are things you can do:

Getting help

The help command lists the commands you can use:

Available commands:
 - help (h): print this menu
 - info (i): information about this application
 - quit (q): quit this application
 - uptime (ut): how long this application has been running
 - connect (c): connect to a serial port
 - motes (m): list all the nodes in the network
 - select (s): select the mote to use
 - notifs (n): toggle whether to print OAP notifications
 - writelogfile (w): toggle whether to write OAP notifications to a LOGFILE
 - led (l): set/clear blue led
 - temp (t): interact with the OAP "temp" resource
 - pkgen (p): set the pkgen application on the mote

Switching OAP notifications on/off

By default, the app prints every OIAP notification it receives. The notifs commands toggles that on/off:
