Compile-time dependencies
  • none
Provides
  • interface_wsn
Requires
  • libphidget from www.phidgets.com should be installed.
Configuration requests
  • none
Configuration file options
  • serial (integer)
    • Default: -1
    • This defines which phidget will be controlled if there is more than one connected to the USB bus. You can obtain the number with lsusb, like this: "lsusb -v |grep iSerial". The default is -1 , and it will connect to the first phidget available.
  • sampling_rate (integer)
    • Default: 40
    • How often (in mS) should the phidget produce data. 40mS produces ACC data at a rate of 25Hz.
  • alarmtime (integer)
    • Default: 45
    • If the data acquisition cycle takes longer than this time (in mS), a warning will be printed.
  • provides
    • The "wsn" interface with the 3 accelerometers data
