G'day, One or two people have expressed interest in the scripts that I've been using for ad-hoc wireless testing and the method by which I've stuck a few temporary tools from my Debian system onto a B-Test-1 laptop.
So I've placed the darcs repository on my web site. Contributions welcome. % darcs get http://quozl.linux.org.au/darcs/olpc-radio-testing/ (or wget --recursive --no-parent if you lack a working copy of darcs) Some limited documentation that I made for my wife so that she could help with a test today ... as an OpenOffice.org document ... http://quozl.linux.org.au/darcs/olpc-radio-testing/doc/test-scripts-howto.odt Scripts of possible interest to others include: - grab binaries and required libraries from a Debian system so that the binaries can be used temporarily on the OLPC system, see the scripts named encapsulate and encapsulate-single, http://quozl.linux.org.au/darcs/olpc-radio-testing/bin/encapsulate http://quozl.linux.org.au/darcs/olpc-radio-testing/bin/encapsulate-single - simple configuration of two units into an ad-hoc network, with IP addresses chosen based on a nickname numeric suffix, see the scripts named bin/adhoc-{up,down} http://quozl.linux.org.au/darcs/olpc-radio-testing/bin/adhoc-down http://quozl.linux.org.au/darcs/olpc-radio-testing/bin/adhoc-up - test the noise and signal level of each channel, so as to find the least noisy, see the scripts adhoc-retune{,-sequence} http://quozl.linux.org.au/darcs/olpc-radio-testing/bin/adhoc-retune http://quozl.linux.org.au/darcs/olpc-radio-testing/bin/adhoc-retune-sequence - emit twelve-tone scale notes corresponding to signal level, see the scripts af and af-table-create http://quozl.linux.org.au/darcs/olpc-radio-testing/bin/af http://quozl.linux.org.au/darcs/olpc-radio-testing/bin/signal-level http://quozl.linux.org.au/darcs/olpc-radio-testing/bin/af-table-create - generate log of battery, temperatures, and wireless signal and noise levels, see the walkabout script and dependencies http://quozl.linux.org.au/darcs/olpc-radio-testing/bin/walkabout - switch the virtual console to reverse video http://quozl.linux.org.au/darcs/olpc-radio-testing/bin/rv -- James Cameron mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://quozl.netrek.org/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
