Supported Hardware
The sensornet package was designed specifically for the SensorNet sensor and actuator nodes developed at LSE. The SensorNet nodes communicate over RS485, all the nodes included in this package assume a Devantech USB-RS485 converter is being used to make the bridge between a computer running ROS and the SensorNet.
ROS API
sensornet_node
sensornet_node is the node responsible for publishing the data recovered from the SensorNet nodes.Published Topics
sensornet_odor (lse_sensor_msgs/Nostril)- Chemical data from the MOX sensor(s).
Parameters
sensornet/port (string, default: /dev/ttyUSB0)- The port where the USB-RS485 device can be found.
scan_nodes
Node discover tool.Parameters
sensornet/port (string, default: /dev/ttyUSB0)- The port where the USB-RS485 device can be found.
set_address
Tool that allows changing the address of a node. Very handy for newly built nodes.Parameters
sensornet/port (string, default: /dev/ttyUSB0)- The port where the USB-RS485 device can be found.
set_sensors
Tools that allows to change the sensors connected to a node. Very handy for newly built nodes.Parameters
sensornet/port (string, default: /dev/ttyUSB0)- The port where the USB-RS485 device can be found.
