Working with Arduino Boards

Today I am spending to program Arduino Boards.

Arduino Boards are very versatile and easy to program. The board I programing is Libelium, Libelium is a company specializing in sensor networks. The company also providing boards has a wide range of accessories, in this case I work with gas sensors.

I made a file of modular programming in which with few configuration strings I can enable or disable features.

The development in question allows the variables collected from the sensors and setting them in a string compatible with csv format and sends by radio frequency up to 12 km and writ to a local text file (MicroSD card) to ensure not lose any data.

void setup()
                {
                PWR.ifHibernate();
                key_access_in_EEPROM();
                configurar_xbee868();
                RTC.ON();
                activar_sensores();
                SD.ON();

                [...] 

                crear_fichero();
                }

void loop()
                {
                Utils.blinkLEDs(3000);
                if( intFlag & HIB_INT )
                        {
                        hibInterrupt();
                        }
                PWR.hibernate("00:00:00:10",RTC_OFFSET,RTC_ALM1_MODE2);
                }

[...]

void generar_paquete_motas()
                {
                [...]
                //generación de todas las variables 
                [...]
                sprintf(aux2," MOTA2: %s, -mac: %s%s, -bat: %d, -temp: %s, 
                            -ozone: %s, -polution: %s \n", RTC.getTime(), 
                             macHigh, macLow, PWR.getBatteryLevel(), tabla, 
                             tabla2, tabla3);          
                data=aux2;
                enviar_paquete();
                }

[...] 

void hibInterrupt()
                {
                  generar_paquete_motas();
                  escribir_linea_fichero();
                  Utils.blinkLEDs(1000);
                  Utils.blinkLEDs(1000);
                  intFlag &= ~(HIB_INT);

                  } 

As seen, the Loop and Setup functions only call functions that can run or not, based on the configuration you need.

This gives us great versatility and ease way of configuration.
