astronode-arduino-library

Arduino Library for the Astronode S.

Examples

Use the examples below as reference designs to develop your own application using the astronode-arduino-library.

hello_Astronode

This sketch enqueues a single message in Astronode S queue. It checks periodically if a new event is available. If a "satellite acknowledge" event is received, a new message is enqueued in the module.

Hardware setup

An Astronode S devkit (sat or wifi) or an Astronode S+ is required.

This sketch has been successfully run in the following boards:

• Nucleo-64 STM32l476 (TX -> D2(PA10), RX -> D8(PA9), GND -> GND, 3V3 -> 3V3)
• Arduino MKR1400 (TX -> D13(RX), RX -> D14 (TX), GND -> GND, 3V3 -> VCC)
• Arduino UNO (TX -> D2(with level shifter), RX -> D3(with level shifter), GND -> GND, 3V3 -> VCC)

hk_logger_sd

This sketch periodically logs all housekeeping from the module on an SD card (peformance counters, env. variables, etc.):

• It enqueues a single message in the queue of the Astronode S.
• It checks periodically if a new event is available.
• If a "satellite acknowledge" event is receieved, the ACK is cleared and a new message is enqueued in the module.
• If a "command received" event is receieved, the data contained in the command are written to the SD card and the command is cleared.
• When all tasks are done, the arduino goes in deep sleep.

Hardware setup

• Adafruit Feather M0 Adalogger (TX -> D16(RX), RX -> D15 (TX), GND -> GND, 3V3 -> 3V3)
• Astronode S devkit (sat or wifi) or Astronode S+
