Scenarios

Scenarios

What would you want to do with it? Ultimately, here are all the things I'd like to do with Contiki on Zigduino.

Setup

I need to prepare my nodes so that they will work with the Contiki avr-zigduino platform.

Troubleshooting

I want to make sure my system is working properly.

Sensor Collection

I want to collect sensor values from nodes scattered all over.

I want to use the on-board temperature and voltage sensors.

I want to view and analyze the sensor data on the PC.

Remote Actuation

I want to make changes to a remote node from a base node, for example turning on or off a lamp.

Multi-Hop Routing

I want my nodes to communicate even if they are not all within communication range from one another.

Ad-hoc Configuration

I don't want to hand-configure each node to specify its physical position (its parent) in the network. I want to add or remove nodes from the network without having to specifically configure that node or any others in the network.

Long-life Battery Nodes

I want individual sensor nodes to last a long time (> 1 year) on a single battery charge.

Node Access via Network

I want to connect to my nodes from PCs on my network, for example to view information about my node or control it from a web browser on my PC. >> Normally in Contiki this seems to be accomplished using slip and tunneling. What's not clear is why not just have a root note on the internet using UIP over (say) ENC28J60?

Network Access from Nodes

I want my nodes to be able to access my internal network, and the Internet beyond, for example to post sensor readings to pachube.

Arduino Environment

I want to be able to use all my Arduino libraries and other handy functionality in Contiki programs.

Arduino IDE

As an absolute beginner, I am not comfortable with command-line development or makefiles, so I need to make Contiki sketches from the Arduino IDE.
