This project implements a particle that, if connected to a particle network, acts as a programmable entity. The network as a whole acts as programmable matter (see http://arxiv.org/abs/1402.2507).
- Videos of several test cases can be watched here.
- Details about synchronization methods and tests' setup: Syncrhonization Listing
This content is mainly meant to be symlinked from other sub project folders. The folder contains:
- utils: mcu independent implementations
- scripts: bash scripts (i.e. avr erase, avr flash, avr read and write fuses and much more)
- targets: cmake settings (i.e. programmer, mcu, debugger)
Other sub projects may use symlinked folders i.e.:
- ln -s ../avr-common/targets targets
- ln -s ../avr-common/scripts scripts
- ln -s ../avr-common/utils/common common
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../src/<yourprojectfolder>
make && make flash
Import project from source.
Make use of the cmake Eclipse project generator:
cmake -G"Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../src/<yourproject>
- eclipse -> new project -> C/C++ -> Makefile Project with Existing Code -> select AVR-GCC Toolchain
- project name should be different from: executable, build folder
- add includepath: -> project -> properties -> C/C++ include paths and symbols "/usr/lib/avr/include"
- all targets can be listed using: make help* i.e. see binaries.
| Folder | Purpose |
|---|---|
| particle | Productive firmware. |
| particle-simulation | Same as productive firmware but optimized for simulation, logging and debugging. |
| particle-initial-io-test | Basic test firmware for physical MCU that drives the MOS-FETs. |
| particle-simulation-io-test | Basic test firmware for simulation tests which prove the correct output pins mapping. |
| manchester-code-tx-simulation | Manchester signal generator for decoding tests. |
| particle-reception-simulation | Firmware for Manchester decoding tests. |
| particle-transmission-simulation | Firmware for Manchester coding and decoding tests. |
| particle-simulation-heatwires-test | Network command test firmware: heat wires - command. |
| particle-simulation-heatwiresrange-test | Network command test firmware: heat wires range - command. |
| particle-simulation-setnewnetworkgeometry-test | Network command test firmware: set new network geometry - command. |
