A simple networking scenario for building WSN, transmitting data between the WSN
nodes and accessing the nodes’ interfaces is presented in the Examples Section of the
document [3].
3.7. Testing the Board Controls and Sensors
To check the onboard controls and sensors the Hardware Test application can be used.
Connect the board to the PC.
Upload Hardware Test image onto the boards. The Hardware Test image files are listed in
Appendix A.
Run Hyper Terminal utility in the same manner as described above (see Table 11).
While the Hardware Test is running, all the board LEDs are blinking. Reports are
generated each second (see Figure 6), and include the status of buttons, DIP switches,
the UID chip number and sensor readings. To test the hardware, you can perform simple
manipulations with the board: press the buttons, move the DIP switches, manually hide
the light sensor from light, finger the temperature sensor and so on. You should see the
changes in parameters reported through Hyper Terminal (see Figure 6).
NOTE:
During the test, if you replace the USB connected board with another one, the operating
system would arbitrarily switch this particular USB connection to another COM port.
Apparently, Hyper Terminal does not recognize such changes. If this happens, you have
to reconnect Hyper Terminal to a proper port. Simply select File/New Connection
menu item and repeat the connection procedure.
