Plane demo
UM0562
The demonstration kit includes a demonstration program which provides an example of a
possible use of the data on the PC to which the dongle is connected. The program
demonstrates the tilt measurement capabilities of accelerometers using a simulated aircraft,
referred to as “Plane” throughout this document.
By creating a connection with the COM port, several kinds of applications running on the
host computer can be used or developed to store, visualize or elaborate sensor data that are
available in the format described in Section 4.1: Dongle firmware. The sender of each
packet can be recognized thanks to the NodeID field that is assigned to each MotionBee™
during the process of joining the network.
The demonstration kit is equipped with a simple graphical application (Plane) that uses
acceleration data to measure the tilt of an object. In order to properly run the demo, the
installation procedures described in the Section 3 must be complete.
To run the demo:
1. Plug the dongle into an empty USB slot on your PC.
2. Double click on the “Run Plane” batch file in <your_folder>/Plane. The windows shown
in Figure 8 appear on the screen.
3. Switch on a MotionBee™ module and then press the commissioning button. After a few
seconds the MotionBee™ starts to send packets to the dongle. The aircraft object on
the screen starts to move by continuously tracking the tilt impressed on the
MotionBee™. The packets read by the application through the COM port are visualized
in the terminal window (See Figure 9).
