3. Waspmote Plug & Sense!’s Hardware Setup

Here we show the most basic points about the hardware conguration:

3.1. ON/OFF Button

This button is used to turn ON or OFF Waspmote. It is a latch type button with two static positions as shown below. In ON position, the button remains a bit lower than LED ring.

3.2. External LED

ON / OFF button includes a red ring led, which can be managed by software. This led can be used for instance to know that Waspmote is ON, or for debugging purposes at developing phase. By default, Waspmote Plug & Sense! comes with a code that blinks briey (3 times in less than one second) this led when it is turned ON. The LED can be managed specifying ON time or just setting this state with specic API functions. The user should take into account that the usage of this led will increase power consumption due to external LED consumes 4.4 mA.

3.3. Resetting Waspmote Plug & Sense! with an external magnet

Waspmote Plug & Sense! it can be reset with an external magnet, with no contact. If one node stops working or if a defective behavior is detected, it would be costly to uninstall the node to bring it back to laboratory. This feature allows the network manager to reset the node in a quick and easy way.

The hardware consists of a reed switch connected to the Waspmote reset line. When the user gets the magnet close to the reedswitch, the reset is activated. When the user moves the magnet away, the reset line is released (the external LED will blink) and Waspmote executes the bootloader rst and then, the setup function. After the setup, it will continue with the loop function. Next pictures shows the right way to reset the node using an external magnet, rst moving it closer, and then moving it away.

The magnet is made of neodymium. It is a special, high-power magnet. We only advise to use the magnet Libelium provides.

It is not mandatory, but highly recommended to consider this feature when designing the project. The user should design the software in a way the node can be reset if things go wrong. Remember that laboratory tests are always needed to validate the feature before your nal deployment.

When the node is already deployed in the eld, and for instance it is installed in a trac light, this feature can be used to reset the node easily, as it is shown in the diagram below, where a technician uses a pole with the magnet attached in one side.

3.4. USB

This connector is used to upload code into Waspmote with a male to male USB cable provided by Libelium. Just connect one side of the cable to this connector, removing protection cap and connect the other side to a PC to upload a code. Next picture shows an example.

When uploading processes are nished, do not forget to screw rmly the protection cap to avoid connector damage.
