WAX  Wireless  Accelerometer   WAX  Software   Software:  waxrec   The  waxrec  command-­‐line  software.    Windows  is  the  only  supported  platform,   but  Linux  and  Mac  may  also  work  (unsupported).         The  only  required  parameter  is  the  port  name  (On  Windows,  use  the  syntax   “\\.\COMn”  to  support  serial  ports  with  numbers  greater  than  10,  or  specify  “!”   to  auto-­‐discover  a  device).  The  optional  command-­‐line  switches  are  as  follows:     Parameter   Notes   -­‐log   Log  of  data  received  to  stdout  (or  and  output  file  if  specified).     -­‐tee   Duplicate  all  log  data  to  stderr.   -­‐osc  host:port   Transmit  OSC  data  to  the  specified  host  IP  address  and  port.   -­‐timetag   Include  a  time-­‐tag  in  OSC  packets.   -­‐stomphost   Transmit  data  using  the  STOMP  protocol  to  a  message  queue.   host:port   -­‐init  string   Send  an  initializing  string  to  the  connected  device.     An  example  to  log  to  the  file  log.csv  and  also  echo  the  output  to  stderr:            waxrec  !  -­‐log  -­‐tee  >  log.csv     See  Wax  Data  /  Log  file  format  below  for  details  on  the  format  of  the  log  file.   Software:  WaxGUI   The  WaxGUI  software  is  Windows-­‐only,  and  is  used  to  provide  a  very  basic,  real-­‐ time  view  of  the  data  received.    Simply  choose  the  port  for  the  receiver  and  select   “Connect  and  Log”.    Any  received  accelerometer  data  will  be  displayed  on  a   simple  graph.  

WAX  Transmitter  Commands   Connect  the  device  to  a  computer  and  establish  a  serial  connection.  The   connection  can  be  verified  using  the  command  AT,  a  valid  response  will  be  OK.   The  following  commands  can  then  be  used  to  configure  the  device  operation.   These  settings  can  be  used  to  configure  the  accelerometer  behaviour  and   transmitter  settings  on  the  WAX  device.   Sample  Frequency  and  Range   This  is  the  sample  frequency  the  accelerometer  is  sampled  at  (not  to  be  confused   with  the  transmit  interval).  The  transmit  interval  must  also  be  tuned  to  ensure   packets  are  transmitted  often  enough  to  ensure  all  the  sampled  data  gets   through.     Command   Range/units   Default   Setting   RATE=code   (see  table)   RATE=25   50  Hz  ±16g  low-­‐power

  MODE:  The  current  receiver  mode  (0=none,  1=SLIP-­‐encoded  binary,   2=text,  3=SLIP-­‐encoded  OSC).  Default  MODE=1.  Changes  from  the  default   mode  are  not  recommended  or  supported  (some  data  loss  may  occur).   STARTMODE:  The  default  mode  used  at  start  up  (this  does  not  change  the   current  mode).  STARTMODE=1  (SLIP).  

 

WAX  Data   Log  file  format   Log  file  format  for  waxrec  and  WaxGui  software:            "ACCEL",timestamp,deviceId,sequence,x,y,z     The  timestamp  is  in  the  format:  YYYY-­‐MM-­‐DD  hh:mm:ss.fff.     The  x,  y,  and  z  values  are  in  1/256  g  units.         Device  stop/starts,  duplicate  transmitted  packets  and  missing  packets  (as   described  above)  can  easily  be  spotted  in  the  log  files  by  observing  non-­‐ sequential  sequence  values  for  a  given  device.   Raw  serial  line  data  (advanced  users  only)   Each  packet  is  sent  over  the  serial  port  in  SLIP-­‐encoding  as  a  delimiter  (defined   in  RFC  1055).    Packets  are  delimited  with  an  END  character  (where  END=0xC0),   any  occurrence  of  END  in  the  packet  is  replaced  by  ESC/ESC_END  (where   ESC=0xDB,  ESC_END=0xDC),  and  any  occurrence  of  ESC  with  ESC/ESC_ESC   (where  ESC_ESC=0xDD).  The  following  code  can  be  used  to  separate  each  packet   (as  modified  from  RFC  1055):     #define #define #define #define

END 0xC0 ESC 0xDB ESC_END 0xDC ESC_ESC 0xDD

int recv_packet(char *p, size_t len) { char c; int received = 0; for (;;) { c = recv_char(); switch(c) { case END: if (received) return received; break; case ESC: c = recv_char(); switch(c) { case ESC_END: c = END; break; case ESC_ESC:
