Linux/CC2650STK: Finding examples on howto: wake on motion (WOM) -> collect gyroscope information on a Raspberry PI

Part Number: CC2650STK

Tool/software: Linux

Hi all,

for a start, I'm not a deep dive developer, but I can adjust examples and follow HowTos! ;)

But then, here's what I got:

(multiple) CC2650STKs
Raspberry PI 3B+

What I'd like to achieve is something like:

CC2650STK Wakes on Motion (WOM)
(preferably python-)script collects gyroscope data (I'm interested in degrees - as the sensortag is placed on a moving shutter)
if movement stops, the sensortag can go to sleep again
repeat with 1. with a new movement

So, until now I read many things and (as I'm not a hard core developer nor am I an expert in electronics) I am confused on many aspects.

ad 1) How can I handle this wake on motion thing? Do I need some special hardware like the debug dev-pack or something?

ad 2) I installed bluepy, but this seems to be a very complex framework, I lack some examples on how to use it within a python script.

ad 3) I guess, if WOM is activated - it surely lets the sensortag sleep again? But I don't have to physically activate it again, I hope? Because the sensortags should monitor the movement of my shutters and if they are not horizontal anymore should stop the motor.

thanks for any help!

Thomas.

Hello Thomas,

1. For motion sensor, you can look at hooking up an external PIR sensor www.ti.com/.../tida-01069. There is a light sensor on the CC2650STK, but that is probably not good enough for your detection of motion.
2. For the gyroscope data format please refer to processors.wiki.ti.com/.../CC2650_SensorTag_User's_Guide
3. You can set the sensortag to wake on motion, so that it can go to sleep when there is no motion

Regards,
Prashanth

Thanks Prashanth,

ad 1) I think, there's a misunderstanding. With "Motion" i mean movement of the sensor itself, not a PIR-Motion! ;)

ad 2) ok, thanks. I figured it out already

ad 3) that's the question I'm thinking of how to set the sensortag to sleep and only wake on motion. Is there a howto around, which I didn't find...

Thanks again,
Thomas.
