mesh-network between 3 nodes #1

Open f23 opened 9 years ago

f23 commented 9 years ago

Hello Tan, I'm studying your Arduino codes and I wanted to ask you what should I load on the three electronic boards to run the program that you've posted in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpRiZNYLi-4

On which Arduino must be loaded the "station.ino" and the "tag.ino" for sending and receiving messages from all the boards? I want to create a mesh network between 3 nodes such as in the "figure": 

   O a
 /    \

b O-----O c

With your code it's possible to send a direct message from one electronic board to another selected one?

Thank You, Federico

Hi Federico,

This code was made to simulate a mesh network. Means actually it is not a real mesh network like Zigbee. You need to understand it first.

Second, there are 2 kinds of node: station and tag. In a network, you need to have at least one station. Data from a tag to another tag must through station. The role of station is routing the data package to right destination.

I think you can create a network like you figure with my code. If any issue, you can post here. I will help you.

Best, Tan

ah ok! now I understand! thanks :) Maybe I can create a new topology of network for my intent using your codes, in this way:

                                    O b
                         O a
                                 /

My (mesh) idea: / \ ---> New (star) topology: a O -- station b O----O c \

                                    O c

I could use 4 arduino: 1 for the station and 3 for the taga (that correspond to my a,b,c nodes). What do you think about that?

PS: Can you indicate to me what part of your code I must modify for routing a message (via station) to a specific node? If I (more or less) understand your code, at the moment every message is send to all the tags..

Best regards,

Federico

Yes. The message is sent to all node. You have to understand by yourself because I think it's easy. Really.

I can't see your topology clearly

f23 commented 9 years ago

ok! I'll try to understand how I can make the routing of the packets :) Thank you very much!!!
