Thingsquare 6LowPan MSP430 Running demo

Hello,

As far as I can see everything is working as expected. If you publish something to the topic your device (node) has subscribed to, do you get the data on the node?

Thanks,

Jonas

Hi, 

thanks for your response, I though I should get a few lines saying :

APP - Got a RPL route
APP - Application has a MQTT connection
APP - Application is subscribed to topic successfully

But the node is just saying :

APP - Disconnected from MQTT broker

I have tried several different brokers, but the only one I can even connect to from a browser is the one at:

messagesight.demos.ibm.com (75.126.71.163) 

and using the client:
http://m2m.demos.ibm.com/mqttclient/#connect

however when I subscribe to topics or publish to topics I get nothing from the node, except that it says it is disconnected.

as far as I can tell the node is not communicating with the edge router, any ideas

thanks again

Ah! Yes - of course you are right, didn't read the post carefully enough. Sorry!

Agree, it seems to me that you are not connected to the Edge Router successfully. 

Please setup a sniffer and post the capture here.

Here are instructions for building a sniffer for the trxeb1120 platform: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Contiki-6LOWPAN#Packet_Sniffer

-Jonas 

ok I will give that a go.

looking at the Wiki, Should I build the sniffer onto my edge router? or do I need a third set up (I only have 2 Trxeb boards and 2xCC1101 and 2xCC1200)

thanks very much! 

thanks again for your help,

I built the sniffer for the Trxeb board i built the hex file in instant contiki using:

make enc28j60-sniffer.hex TARGET=eth1101

and it seems to be working, going by the output to teraterm:

Contiki 2.6
Rime addr 2.18.116.0.0.1.1.0
cc1101 init
Node id 1.
Netstack AES link layer encryption enabled
nullrdc/CSMA 128 26
IPv6 fe80:0000:0000:0000:0012:7400:0001:0100
Tentative global IPv6 address fc00:0000:0000:0000:0012:7400:0001:0100
AES encryption is enabled
IPv6 addresses: fc00::12:7400:1:100
fe80::12:7400:1:100
Starting Enc28j60 sniffer process

however when I trun wire shark it only detects packet from the PC, looking for DHCP and stuff like that.

really not sure where to go to from hear, any ideas?

thanks

Hello,

Sorry about the delay on this thread. 

Yes, you would need an extra trxeb and ethernet DK in order to create the sniffer. 

Seems your sniffer is working as expected. Connect the ethernet cable between your PC and sniffer Ethernet DK. You should set Wireshark so that it "sniffs/listens" on your Ethernet connection on your PC. 

The sniffer basically sends out everything that it captures on the RF on the Ethernet interface. E.g. you should see RPL messages coming in from the other nodes.

Can you copy your settings (CC1120-config.h) for all your devices here?

Thanks,

Jonas

Hey, 

Thanks again.

I have set up with 3 boards, one sniffer, one router and one node.

However I am not getting any data in wireshark from the sniffer. I have tried building the sniffer with the CC1101 and CC1200 modules but I dont have a CC1120 module to try. I have used the CC1120 make settings for the CC1200 but I have adjusted the make settings for the CC1101 as per my earlier post.

I have attached the settings files I have been using:

0028.cc1120-config.h

1348.cc1101-config.h

thanks very much

Sorry links seem to have broken:

cc1120-config.h

cc1101-config.h

Hello,

The links appear to be broken.

Can you post a picture of your setup? I want to verify you have built a sniffer like this: trxeb - CC1120EM - Ethernet DK.

The only other thing I can think of is that the settings used on the different boards and not compatible, hence your devices will not hear each other.
