Install Raspbian

No matter which transceiver module you use, you have to install Raspbian on your Raspberry Pi. An instruction how to do that can be found here and here.

After installing Raspian you have to enable the support for IEEE 802.15.4/LoWPAN devices.

Before enabling the support let's connect the transceiver to the Raspberry Pi in order to be able to test, if enabling the support was successful.

Connect Openlabs (AT86RF233) to Raspberry Pi

Note: Always shutdown the Raspberry Pi when you are dis-/connecting hardware from/to the Raspberry Pi's GPIOs.

TODO: Add image where to plug transceiver into Raspberry Pi

Openlabs (AT86RF233)

To enable the support for IEEE 802.15.4/LoWPAN devices follow this.

Installation and Setup for Wifi-Hotspot, Router and 6LoWPAN

To install and setup all tools needed, just execute ./install.sh in <Projet-Root>/scripts/.

Install Config Files

In order to avoid create/adjusting all the config files yourself you can just use the ones provided within this repository.

You do not even need to know where to put them, it is all done by dotbot. You only need to execute following command in the root directory of this project, in order to copy the config files in the right directory: sudo ./install

Note: Be aware that there is a default password for the wlan hotspot in etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf-> Adjust the config file

Known Issues

Wifi and Radvd

  1. The Raspberry Pi does not get a global IPv6 address assigned by Radvd (this might be possible, but is not configured) ->
    Add an IPv6 address by executing sudo ip -6 addr add fd51:42f8:caae:d922::1/64 dev wlan0
  2. When an esp connects with the Raspberry Pi via Wifi, no global IPv6 address is assigned automatically -> To trigger assignment just remove the Pi's global IPv6 by executing sudo ip -6 addr del fd51:42f8:caae:d922::1/64 dev wlan0 and the readd it by executing sudo ip -6 addr add fd51:42f8:caae:d922::1/64 dev wlan0 (the interface wlan0 might be named differently. check that with ip link).
