Laboratory for Embedded Collaborative Systems (LECS) -- Testbed Guide

Welcome to the LECS Testbed!

We have worked hard (and keep doing it :) ) on the testbed so people can use it!! So if you would like to run an experiment, try a new algorithm, collect sensor data, or just simply play with some of our toys, you are more than welcome to do so.

The following is a compendium of resources that will provide you (hopefully) with enough information to get started.

Testbed General Overview
A general description of all the platforms we currently support. This document is a MUST for all the people new to the testbed.

 
Getting Started with the Testbed Management Tools
A complete description of the set of tools for management and configuration of the iPAQ and PC-104+ nodes.

 
Getting Started with the iPAQ and PC-104 nodes
Several links with descriptions on how to use and logging into the LECS lab nodes, how to install Linux on the iPAQs, and many other features.

 
Getting Started with Programming TinyOS on Motes
If you want to use the motes, then this should be your starting point.

 
Manuals and Datasheets
Pretty much what the title says.

 
Node Inventory (Internal Access ONLY)
The pages for PC-104, iPAQ, and motes inventory.

 
Frequently Asked Questions
Wondering how to get the last version of diffusion? Or what machine should you use to log your experiments? The answers might lie within...
