Hemera Indoor Sensor Node

Hemera is an indoor wireless sensor node that measures temperature, humidity, light and motion.

The node contains three key sensors:

• Sensirion SHT11 (Temperature and Humidity)
• Rohm BH1721 (Light)
• PIR (Motion)

Setup

1) Clone & install the Lab11 version of tinyos-main:

git clone https://github.com/lab11/tinyos-main.git
cd tinyos-main
git checkout for-rpi
cd tools
./Bootstrap
./configure
make
sudo make install

2) Clone yours truly:

git clone https://github.com/lab11/hemera.git

3) Add to bash.rc:

export TINYOS_ROOT_DIR=<path to>/tinyos-main
export TINYOS_ROOT_DIR_ADDITIONAL=<path to>/hemera/tinyos:$TINYOS_ROOT_DIR_ADDITIONAL

4) Set up the RaspberryPi (optional, but recommended):

A modified RaspberryPi can be utilized to receive and forward data to GATD. If you choose to use one, you need the Linux CC2520 Driver for the RPi. Instead of installing this manually, it is suggested to download & install the preinstalled image from this torrent. Go to https://github.com/lab11/raspberrypi-cc2520 for additional details on setup.

Clone the RPi repo:

git clone https://github.com/lab11/raspberrypi-cc2520.git

Add to bash.rc:

export TINYOS_ROOT_DIR_ADDITIONAL=<path to>/raspberrypi-cc2520/tinyos:$TINYOS_ROOT_DIR_ADDITIONAL

5) Get the compilers

In order to compile the TinyOS code you need the msp430 and the ARM compilers

Sense Stuff

After you have finsihed the above setup, you should be ready to install apps on the Hemera board.

The basic sense & broadcast app is HemeraAM. To install it, go to <path to>/hemera/tinyos/apps/HemeraAM and follow the README.

To receive & forward data to GATD on the RPi, go to <path to>/hemera/tinyos/apps/RpiGatdForwarder and follow the README.
