Contiki client for sensd

========================
|

Sensd README describes the concept. sensd code is on github.

Contiki client connects to:

Abstract
|
||||
--------
|
||||
We've outlined, designed and implemented and very simple concept for WSN
|
||||
data sharing, including data collection, storage and retrieval using
|
||||
standard text tools. The concept restricts Internet access to WSN
|
||||
motes and acts agent not to expose motes directly for robustness and
|
||||
security reasons. Low level, physical or link WSN protocol can be used.
|
||||
including 6lowpan, RIME etc and any type of Radio Duty Cycling (RDC).
|
||||
sensd works on the application layer. A TCP connection initiates an
|
||||
implicit "subscribe". The M2P model is currently supported.
|
||||
|
||||
Key concepts
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Agent. sensd works as an agent and does not allow direct Internet
|
||||
access to motes. Recall motes are constrained in most aspects and
|
||||
can not support many connections, has weak security etc.
|
||||
|
||||
* Hub. Share the data from the root or sink node over TCP. In effect sensor
|
||||
data can be sent over Internet to be shared over among TCP active listeners.
|
||||
The TCP connection initiates an implicit "subscribe".
|
||||
|
||||
* Proxy. The support proxy functions over ipv4 and well as ipv6. Sensd can
|
||||
forward to a proxy on a public IP. The typical case is when GW is behind
|
||||
a NAT.
|
||||
|
||||
* WSN RP "rendez-vous point". A concepts where data from various WSN nets
|
||||
are merged. This models a "cloud service" functionality for WSN networks.
|
||||
sensd can be used both to forward data to RP. It can also work as the RP.
|
||||
RP receiving WSN data and allowing multiple TCP listeners.
|
||||
|
||||
* All programs are written C, script in Java and bash. Designed for small
|
||||
footprint and with minimal dependencies. sensd runs on Raspberry Pi and
|
||||
Openwrt.
|
||||
|
||||
* This work introduces a simple tag format for sensor data. The overall
|
||||
idea is that data tagging is an "agreement" between producers and consumer.
|
||||
Tags are simple are description of the data. Example T=25.2. where T=
|
||||
is the tag 25.2 the value. Most likely this a temperature. But we
|
||||
can't be sure since we don't know since this is an agreement between
|
||||
the producer and the consumer. Tags are also used for identification.
|
||||
Example tags, E64= Where globally unique ID can used. Another more
|
||||
relaxed example is TXT= a user description. See docs.
|
||||
|
||||
* Geotagging and timestamping is supported via tags.
|
||||
|
||||
* Ecosystem support. There are telphone apps to for data monitoring and
|
||||
and plotting. Android app can act as WSN-agent and forward to proxy/RP.
|
||||
|
||||
* The concept also includes a mapping to URI (Unified Resource Identifier)
|
||||
to form a WSN caching server similar to CoAP using http-proxy.
|
||||
|
||||
* Copyright. Open-Source via GPL. Projecet used github.com

Introduction
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
This is collection of software to implement data monitoring and data collection
|
||||
from WSN Wireless Sensor Networks. The goal is to have a very simple,
|
||||
straight-forward and robust framework.
|
||||
|
||||
The scenario: One or several motes is connected to USB or serial port to gather
|
||||
received information from connected WSN motes. Data can be visualized in
|
||||
several ways.
|
||||
|
||||
* Sensor data report can be transmitted and propagated throughout the
|
||||
Internet. sensd acts as server and sends incoming report to active
|
||||
listeners.
|
||||
|
||||
* Data is kept in ASCII with tagging and ID information. Data is conveniently
|
||||
handled, copied and viewed with standard text utilities of your OS.
|
||||
|
||||
* Last mote report is cached into the file system suitable for URI use. The
|
||||
Format is SID/TAG. Typical tags are EUI64 and unique serial numbers. The
|
||||
different TAGS are left for mote user to define. Although the TAGS used in
|
||||
our example setup are included in this draft for example purposes.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Both formats can easily be stored or linked directly in web tree to form a
|
||||
URI to format WSN logging/datafile or caching service.
|
||||
|
||||
A daemon that reads WSN mote reports from USB/serial and stores data in a ASCII
|
||||
data file. Default is located at _/var/log/sensors.dat_
|
||||
|
||||
Addtional components
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* seltag [More info] (https://github.com/herjulf/sensd/blob/master/seltag/README.md)
|
||||
|
||||
* js A set of Java-scripts can plot, print and visualize sensor data from
|
||||
sensd directly in your web-browser.
|
||||
|
||||
* documentation and sample files. [More info] (https://github.com/herjulf/sensd/blob/master/seltag/README.md)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
Datafile logging
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
Below is and example of the anatomy of a sensors.dat file we are currently using in our WSN
|
||||
data collection networks.
|
||||
|
||||
2012-05-22 14:07:46 UT=1337688466 ID=283c0cdd030000d7 PS=0 T=30.56 T_MCU=34.6 V_MCU=3.08 UP=2C15C V_IN=4.66
|
||||
|
||||
2012-05-22 14:11:41 UT=1337688701 ID=28a9d5dc030000af PS=0 T=36.00 V_MCU=2.92 UP=12C8A0 RH=42.0 V_IN=4.13 V_A1=3.43 [ADDR=0.175 SEQ=33 RSSI=21 LQI=255 DRP=1.00]
|
||||
|
||||
Each line is a mote report. They start with date and time and are followed by a set of
|
||||
tags. The tags is different for different motes. In other words they can
|
||||
send different data. Essential is the ID which should be unique for each mote.
|
||||
|
||||
The information with brackets is information generated by the receiving mote
|
||||
and is not a part the motes data. Typically RSSI (Receiver Signal Strength
|
||||
Indicator) and LQI (Link Quality Indicator)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Internet sensor data
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Start sensd with the `-report` option. This enables reports to be transmitted
|
||||
over IP to remote listeners. Default TCP port 1234.
|
||||
|
||||
Server side example:
|
||||
|
||||
sensd -report -p 1234 -D /dev/ttyUSB0
|
||||
|
||||
Client side. Example using netcat:
|
||||
|
||||
nc server-ip 1234
|
||||
|
||||
URI format
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
URI (Unified Resource Identifier) displays the node ID and the tags in a file tree.
|
||||
It is easy to export this into a web tree to form a URI similar to a CoAP gateway.
|
||||
|
||||
Example: In our case we have a unique sensor ID followed by the different data
|
||||
fields represented by "tags".
|
||||
|
||||
/tmp/WSN1-GW1/281a98d20200004a:
|
||||
DRP ID LQI PS RH RSSI SEQ T V_IN V_MCU ADDR
|
||||
|
||||
/tmp/WSN1-GW1/28be51ce02000031:
|
||||
DRP ID LQI PS RH RSSI SEQ T UP V_IN V_MCU ADDR
|
||||
|
||||
Read Temp from a sensor:
|
||||
|
||||
cat /tmp/WSN1-GW1/281a98d20200004a/T
|
||||
19.44
|
||||
|
||||
And it's very easy to link this tree into a web-server.
|
||||
|
||||
GPS support
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
Positioning support has been added via GPS device connected to serial
|
||||
or USB port. Tags added when enabled GWGPS_LON & GWGPS_LAT.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Getting the source and building
|
||||
-------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Code is stored in github. Typically procedure below is the very straight-
|
||||
forward unix way:
|
||||
|
||||
git clone http://github.com/herjulf/sensd
|
||||
cd sensd
|
||||
make
|
||||
|
||||
Put your binaries after your preference:
|
||||
|
||||
Pre-built binary versions
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
For x86:
|
||||
Sensd and friends are available in Bifrost/Linux packages. Those packages are
|
||||
statically linked and can be used on most x86 Linuxes. 32-bit compiled.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Use
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
The WSN data logging and caching concept is in actual use with Contiki, RIME
|
||||
broadcast application.
|
||||
|
||||
Tips
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
One can use netcat to listen to reports:
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
nc radio-sensors.com 1235
|
||||
|
||||
To save in file use nohup:
|
||||
|
||||
nohup nc radio-sensors.com 1235 > /var/log/sensors.dat
|
||||
|
||||
As sensd used TCP and ASCII encoding. tetlnet and web-browsers can be used
|
||||
as well.

||||
