Sierra Wireless - AirVantage

eclo Tutorial

NB: this tutorial is a work in progress. Some pieces are still TBC, and some of the external links are not definitive.

Assembling the Greenhouse

TODO

Arduino

This program comes from kartben/mihini-greenhouse-demo.

• Download the arduino IDE and launch it
• Open the file tutorial-arduino/SimpleModbusSlaveExample.ino
• Download the SimpleModbusSlave library, and install it.
• Connect your Arduino in USB and flash it

Raspberry Pi

• Follow the Raspberry Pi’s quick start guide and choose a Raspbian in the NOOBS screen
• Once you are logged onto your Raspbian, download and install Mihini (choose the “armhf” architecture, and the “deb” package type)
• check the airvantage server url, in /opt/mihini/lua/agent/defaultconfig.lua, line 27
• find the deviceId:

$ grep deviceId /var/log/syslog

=> you should find something like 0000000072eb5051

Mihini’s application

This program cames from the Mihini samples from Eclipse’s git repository, in greenhouse-m3da/mihini-greenhouse-m3da-demo/src/

Using Lua Development Tools

• On your Desktop computer, download and launch LDT
• Install the Mihini Development Tools
  • Help -> Install new software
  • Work with: http://download.eclipse.org/koneki/updates-nightly
  • Select the “Mihini Development Tools for Lua”
  • Restart Eclipse if it’s recommended
• Configure the connection to your Raspberry Pi
  • Open the perspective “Remote System explorer”
  • “Define a connection to remote system” -> “Mihini Device”
  • Fill the “Host name” with your Raspberry Pi’s IP address, and “Finish”
  • Right clic on “Applications”, then “Connect…”, and fill your credential (user: pi & password: raspberry)
• Create a the Eclipse’s Project
  • Get back to the Lua Perspective
  • File -> New -> LUA Project
  • Name it, with only ASCII letters, digits and “_”
  • “Create project at existing location (from existing source)” -> select the tutorial-mihini folder
• Install your Project on you Raspberry Pi
  • Right-click on your application Export -> Mihini -> Lua Application Package
  • give it a Version
• Checks the log on your Raspbian

$ tail -f /var/log/syslog

For more details, see the official LDT’s User guide

OR Using the telnet lua console

• On your Raspberry Pi, download the application:

$ cd
$ sudo apt-get install git
$ git clone https://github.com/nim65s/tutorial-eclo.git

• write the launcher for this app (an executable called run, in ~/tutorial-eclo/tutorial-mihini):

#!/bin/sh
lua main.lua

• Install the application

$ telnet localhost 2000

> appcon = require "agent.appcon"
> = appcon.install("eclo", "/home/pi/tutorial-eclo/tutorial-mihini", true)

• check the logs

$ tail -f /var/log/syslog

AirVantage

• Zip the tutorial-airvantage/model.app

$ cd tutorial-airvantage
$ zip model.app.zip model.app

• Create an AirVantage account
• Once you are logged in AirVantage, create a new application and publish it
  • Develop -> My Apps
  • Release -> Select a File -> model.app.zip -> Start
  • Refresh -> Select “My Application” -> Publish -> Publish
• Then you can add a your Raspberry Pi as a system in your AirVantage’s fleet
  • Inventory -> Systems -> Create
  • Give it a name
  • Create a gateway with the deviceId as the Serial Number
  • Don’t add any subscription
  • Add the Application you just created
  • Let the Password field empty
  • Create
• Select your new system and activate it
• Check that Mihini is successfully connected to AirVantage
  • Monitor -> Systems
  • Select your system -> Details
  • History
