Multisensor Kit Software Installation and Configuration

The following provides instructions on how to install and configure the software for the IoT Multisensor kit.

Task 1. Install Teensy Laptop Software.
The Teensy is the microcontroller located on the BBB cape. In order to interact with it, you’ll need to install some software on your laptop.

Install version 1.8.9 of the Arduino IDE.

2. Install the Teensyduino software.

Task 2. Upload Code to the Teensy.

2. Try basic usage first.

3. Obain the Teensy program.

*To gain access to the code, please send your github account name to Andrew Dugenske.*

4. Copy the code and paste into the Arduino IDE.

5. Upload the code to the Teensy via the IDE.

Task 3. Update the BBB OS.

Flash the BBB to update the OS.

Task 4. Setup the Wifi on the BBB.

Connect to the BBB.

2. Obtain the MAC address:

ifconfig

wlan0: flags=-28605<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DYNAMIC>  mtu 1500

        inet 143.215.108.111  netmask 255.255.240.0  broadcast 143.215.111.255

        inet6 fe80::8230:dcff:fefd:8e1  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20

        ether 80:30:dc:fd:08:e1  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)

        RX packets 13608145  bytes 6355805524 (5.9 GiB)

        RX errors 0  dropped 17  overruns 0  frame 0

        TX packets 130565  bytes 149821214 (142.8 MiB)

        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

*The MAC address is 80:30:dc:fd:08:e1.*

3. Establish GTOther access.

Send the MAC Address of the BBB to Andrew Dugenske so it can be added to GTOther.

4. Configure the BBB Wifi.

directions.

Task 5. Add node.js libraries.

Connect to the BBB.

2. Install Moment.js on the BBB using NPM (Node Package Manager) as follows:

sudo npm install moment

Note: The BBB must be connected to the internet for this to work.

Task 6. Setup Node-RED on the BBB.

1. Connect to the BBB.
