[Tinyos-users] Matlab Port of TinyDB

[Pankaj Kalore]

Greetings,   I have developed a set of apps that allow the TinyDB functionality to be harnessed from from MATLAB in a (very) simple and straightforward way.   I had to write/wire a few methods to allow smooth-N-easy access to and from the app plus a little bit of . I also had to tweak the JAVA tools a bit, to make them a little more friendly with matlab. This was warranted because some of the JAVA tools are real real nasty with MATLAB; on exit, they simply kill the host, the MATLAB session!! and some simply made the access harder. I tried to fix them. These changes 100% backward compatible!  and I did not observe them hinder/tamper their original functionality. All the JAVA developers/contributes please reconsider the use of System.exit(x)command to exit the app or at least some face saving measure for MATLAB to stop this matricide. Also  Not all the holes are plugged though!   Right now all the utils are command line. I am working on developing a simple-N-nice GUI in MATLAB to allow interactive use.   I preserved the SerialForward/MoteIF method to access the serial port. This has its ups and downs. Pros: much simpler interaction with LAN/USB/IEEE1394., faster, and threaded (does not block the command prompt).   Is there any wish-list for things to be done in MATLAB?   I plan to share these tools/utils in  a  couple of weeks after some necessary testing.   Right now I am using it to collect, store and analyze the environmental data.   Please forward your suggestions to me.   Happy New Year to all. ( Indian New years begins today.)   Thank you.   Regards, Pankaj.
