BRambleZ1

Visualisation tool for Zolertia Z1 based on BRamble by Mariano Alvira, with modifications for Zolertia Z1 motes. Visualize your Multi-hop Network and access CoAP Resources on it.

Installation Guide

Cloning the directory:

https://github.com/shantanoo-desai/BRambleZ1.git

Dependencies

For Ubuntu/Debian based machines:

	apt-get update
	apt-get install cython libjs-jquery python-flask python-pip python-dev ipv6calc

For Flask dependencies:

	pip install Flask-OpenID Flask-Login Flask-Principal Flask-Bcrypt Flask-Mako IPy gevent-socketio

Back-end CoAP

BRambleZ1 uses SMCP. Please install SMCP by visiting the repository.

Running BRambleZ1

Make a shebang command to avoid writing python runserver.py each time.

	$cd BrambleZ1/web
	$chmod a+x runserver.py
	$./runserver.py

Border Router setup and Motes

Border Router

The Border Router used here is Erbium-br. A border-router without HTTP but with Erbium Engine on it and implementation of rplinfo for Routing Information based on CoAP

(NOTE: Refer to the README in erbium-br for changing in Buffer size during compilation)

Motes in the network

Motes are programmed with CoAPZ1 using Erbium in Contiki-OS. One can add/remove resources according to one's wish but DO NOT remove rplinfo.c and rplinfo.h (Needed for visualization)

STEPS

Erbium-br

upload the erbr.c on a Z1 mote and observe this:

make connect-router

and if the prefix is NOT SET press the USR button on the mote. After that observe the Router Address in JSON format:

	*** Address:bbbb::1 => bbbb:0000:0000:0000
	Got configuration message of type P
	Setting prefix bbbb::
	{"addrs":["bbbb::c30c:0:0:1373","fe80::c30c:0:0:1373",]}

BRambleZ1

do the following:

  1. Connect the Erbium-br as shown above

  2. in a new terminal

	cd BrambleZ1/web
	./runserver.py

Observe similar to this:

	grep_radio_ip
	Radio ips are [u'bbbb::c30c:0:0:1373', u'fe80::c30c:0:0:1373']
	get_radio_channel
	Radio set to channel 26
  1. On Mozilla Firefox type the following:
	localhost:5000/

  1. You will be directed to the Login Page and the password is "default"

  2. after login, you will be directed to mesh.html where the visualisation will occur.

Changing Border-Router IP Address

in radio.py in the bradmin folder a Section is marked for changing the border-router IPv6 Address. Put your global IPv6 and link-local address according to examples in the variable addrstr
