This week - Detection Code

This week started off with presentations on monday. Every group had to do a small presentation about what they where doing.

Tuesday we started with programming again. Myself i walked trough the sunspot tutorials as i didnt have time to do that yet.

Wednesday we started programming again and we made a program which is capable of detecting the sunspots in the vicinity and giving back their adresses.


boolean running = true;
while (running) {
RouteTable t = LowPan.getInstance().getRoutingManager().getRoutingTable();
Enumeration e = t.getAllEntries();
while (e.hasMoreElements()) {
System.out.println(e.nextElement().toString().substring(0, 19));
}
System.out.println("--------------------");
Utils.sleep(5000);
}

This gave back the following results:

0014.4F01.0000.2171
0014.4F01.0000.3881
0014.4F01.0000.42B5
--------------------
0014.4F01.0000.2171
0014.4F01.0000.3881
0014.4F01.0000.42B5
--------------------
0014.4F01.0000.2171
0014.4F01.0000.3881
0014.4F01.0000.42B5
--------------------

etc.

We have also been doing tests with the range of the sunspots indoors. We have found that when we suspend a sunspot on the ceiling they have quite an astonishing range.
We could detect them up to two rooms away. Which means that a mesh network will be a working possibility for the future.
However this will also mean that it will be hard to tell wether a sunspot is actually in the same room or in a room next to it.

All in all we have been busy. Erwin is also working on creating a piece of code capable of storing data on the flashmemory and making it run as an isolate. This has been quite succesful however there are still some problems which have to be resolved for it to work.
More to come soon.
