Virtual Sensor implementation in Contiki NG OS

Native Temperature, Humidity and Pressure Sensor in Contiki NG 

Implementation of Three sensors namely temperature, humidity and pressure sensor in contiki NG OS.

We need four files namely

Step 1: Create a Folder called temperature/ in the folder contiki-ng/examples/
and then copy paste the following four files to the above folder.

// mytemp.h
#ifndef MYTEMP_H
#define MYTEMP_H
struct Sensor {
 char name[15];
 float value;
};
struct Sensor read_temperature();
struct Sensor read_humidity();
struct Sensor read_pressure();
#endif


// mytemp.c
#include "mytemp.h"
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

float random_value(float min, float max)
{
 float scale = rand() / (float) RAND_MAX;
 return min + scale * (max - min);
}

struct Sensor read_temperature()
{
 struct Sensor temp;
 strncpy(temp.name, "Temperature", 15);
 temp.value = random_value(0, 35);
 return temp;
}
struct Sensor read_humidity()
{
 struct Sensor humdidty;
 strncpy(humdidty.name, "Humidity", 15);
 humdidty.value = random_value(40, 80);
 return humdidty;
}

struct Sensor read_pressure()
{
 struct Sensor pressure;
 strncpy(pressure.name, "Pressure", 15);
 pressure.value = random_value(30, 78);
 return pressure;
}


// demo.c
#include "contiki.h"
#include "sys/etimer.h" //etimer Event Timer
#include "mytemp.h"
#include <stdio.h>

PROCESS(sensor_process, "Sensor process");
AUTOSTART_PROCESSES(&sensor_process);

static struct etimer timer;

PROCESS_THREAD(sensor_process, ev, data)
{
 PROCESS_BEGIN();
 printf("Native Sensor\n");
 
while(1) {
 etimer_set(&timer, CLOCK_SECOND*2);
PROCESS_WAIT_EVENT_UNTIL(etimer_expired(&timer));

 struct Sensor temp = read_temperature();
 printf("%s: %.2f\n", temp.name, (double)temp.value);

 struct Sensor hum = read_humidity();
 printf("%s: %.2f\n", hum.name, (double)hum.value);

struct Sensor pressure = read_pressure();
 printf("%s: %.2f\n", pressure.name, (double)pressure.value);
  
printf("------------\n");
 }
 PROCESS_END();
}



#Makefile
CONTIKI_PROJECT = demo
all: $(CONTIKI_PROJECT)

PROJECT_SOURCEFILES += mytemp.c

CONTIKI = ../../
include $(CONTIKI)/Makefile.include

To run this File

Open a Terminal  and go to contiki-ng/examples/temperature/

$] cd contiki-ng/examples/temperature
$] make TARGET=native 
$] ./demo.native

  1. How to average them and print the average value through seperate process thread?

  2. May be you can calculate manually.

Simulation of URDF, Gazebo and Rviz | ROS Noetic Tutorial 8

Design a User-defined robot of your choice (or you can use the URDF file) and enable the LIDAR Scanner so that any obstacle placed on the path of the light scan will cut the light rays. Visualize the robot in the Gazebo workspace, and also show the demonstration in RViz.   (NB: Gain knowledge on wiring URDF file and .launch file for enabling any user-defined robot to get launched in the gazebo platform.) SLAM : One of the most popular applications of ROS is SLAM(Simultaneous Localization and Mapping). The objective of the SLAM in mobile robotics is to construct and update the map of an unexplored environment with the help of the available sensors attached to the robot which will be used for exploring. URDF: Unified Robotics Description Format, URDF, is an XML specification used in academia and industry to model multibody systems such as robotic manipulator arms for manufacturing assembly lines and animatronic robots for amusement parks. URDF is especially popular with users of the ...
