Several additional files are required to successfully follow this guide. The files are available for download at the ISHMP website in the file NewUser_Files.zip. For Step 5 and 6 of this guide you will need at least two Imote2s to create a "network." One Imote2 will connect to the PC via the USB and act as the gateway between the PC and your network of remote sensors. This guide will refer to an Imote2 connected to the PC as a gateway node and nodes in the network as leaf nodes. For those users who wish to update preconfigured Imote2s with the latest version of the ISHMP Toolsuite, please follow Steps 1 thru 3 of the guide. Users with the ITS400 sensor board, those who wish to use other applications included in the ISHMP Toolsuite Version 3.0.0, and those interested in developing their own applications should follow the instructions for Advanced Users and Developers. |
