===========

Collect geolocated radio decodings from a [reelyActive Owl-in-One](https://www.reelyactive.com/products/gateways/#owl-in-one) based on the [Tessel 2](https://tessel.io/) platform.  Geolocates using a USB GPS and writes radio decodings ([raddecs](https://github.com/reelyactive/raddec/)) from a reel module (BLE) and/or from tcpdump (WiFi) to a USB drive.

For complementary functionality, consider instead:

- [tessel-edge](https://github.com/reelyactive/tessel-edge) for real-time packet forwarding

- [tessel-monitor](https://github.com/reelyactive/tessel-monitor) to monitor Bluetooth Low Energy advertising traffic dynamics

Consult the following tutorials as step-by-step configuration guides:

- [Configure an Owl-in-One](https://reelyactive.github.io/diy/oio-config/)

- [Create a WLAN of Owl-in-Ones and a laptop](https://reelyactive.github.io/diy/oio-wlan/)

Installation

------------

Clone this repository, browse to its root, then run:

    npm install

Configuration

-------------

All configuration parameters can be found in the file __config.js__.  Update only this file, as required.

| Parameter                   | Description                                   | 

|:----------------------------|:----------------------------------------------|

| LISTEN_TO_REEL              | Enable listener on reel module (default: true)|

| LISTEN_TO_TCPDUMP           | Enable listener on tcpdump (default: false)   |

| ENABLE_MIXING               | Combine multiple decodings of an individual transmitter into a single raddec (default: true) |

| MIXING_DELAY_MILLISECONDS   | Mixing delay of radio decodings (default: 1000) |

| RADDEC_FILTER_PARAMETERS    | (see [raddec-filter](https://github.com/reelyactive/raddec-filter/))                           |

| LOGFILE_NAME_PREFIX         | (default: 'roamlog')                          |

| LOGFILE_EXTENSION           | (default: '.csv')                             |

| LOGFILE_DELIMITER           | (default: ',')                                |

| LOGFILE_MINUTES_TO_ROTATION | (default: 60)                                 |

| STORAGE_MOUNT_POINT         | (default: '/mnt/sda1')                        |

| GPS_MOUNT_POINT             | (default: '/dev/ttyUSB0')                     |

| IS_DEBUG_MODE               | Set true and `t2 run index.js` for console log|

Programming

-----------

Programming the Tessel 2 requires the [t2-cli](https://www.npmjs.com/package/t2-cli) package which can be installed by following [these instructions](https://tessel.github.io/t2-start/).

With the Tessel 2 connected to the programming station via USB, from the root of this repository run:

    t2 push index.js

The code will be pushed to flash memory on the Tessel and will run every time it boots.

Output

------

By default, __tessel-roam__ will write to logfiles _roamlog-ble-YYMMDD-HHMMSS.csv_ and _roamlog-wifi-YYMMDD-HHMMSS.csv_, which it will rotate every 60 minutes, the following comma-separated values:

GPS Epoch,CPU Epoch,transmitterId,transmitterIdType,rssi,lat,lon,speed,course

Prerequisites

-------------

The __tessel-roam__ software expects the following:

- a reel or reelceiver module connected via UART on Port A

- maximum baud rate of Port A set to at least 230400

- tcpdump installed (only if LISTEN_TO_TCPDUMP is true)

- coreutils-stty installed

- GPS module connected via USB

- thumb drive connected via USB
