The OutputNode sketch, and matching Lua class, exposes the digital ports 1-4 as I/O controllable xAPBSC endpoints. If not all ports are not being used they can be individually disabled by leaving them out of the endpoint definition or by setting their value to 0 (zero).

Snippet of configuration information needed in the jeenodeApplet.lua source. Here we are sending to an RF node configured as unit 8 (the default for the OutputNode Sketch).

OutputNode = require("xap.outputnode")

local nodes = {
  [8]=OutputNode{instance="jeenode:attic",endpoints={p1=1,p2=1,p3=1,p4=1}}
}

So now we can simply use a xAPBSC.cmd class message to control these newly created endpoints. Here is an example of turning on JeeNode Port 1 from the above configuration.

xap-header
{
v=12
hop=1
uid=FF000F00
class=xAPBSC.cmd
source=dbzoo.livebox.demo
target=dbzoo.livebox.jeenode:attic.p1
}
output.state.1
{
id=*
state=on
}

This would result in the OutputNode lua code sending to xap-serial the following

xap-header
{
uid=FF00D800
source=dbzoo.livebox.Plugboard
hop=1
class=Serial.Comms
target=dbzoo.livebox.serial
v=12
}
Serial.Send
{
data=1,1,8 s
port=/dev/ttyUSB0
}

Controlling an OutputNode from the Joggler in this video we simply toggle 4x LEDs on/off.

HAH remote control of JeeNodes using a Joggler

This node provides the following endpoints (p1,p2,p3,p4) for example:

dbzoo.livebox.jeenode:attic.p1
dbzoo.livebox.jeenode:attic.p2
dbzoo.livebox.jeenode:attic.p3
dbzoo.livebox.jeenode:attic.p4

We can rename them like this to produce dbzoo.livebox.jeenode:attic.port1 etc..

local nodes = {
  [ID]=OutputNode{instance="jeenode:attic",endpoints={p1="port1",p2="port2",p3="port3",p4="port4"}}
}

Flash the HAHCentral and Output nodes sketches, tethering each to your computer. Connect to each @ 57600 baud.

When powered on the following should be displayed

[HAHCentral.1]1 g212 @ 868Mhz
OK 8 0

[outputNode.1] i8 g212 @ 868Mhz
OUTPUT 0 0 0 0 0

Entering a command on the HAHCentral to toggle a Port on and off. The command will not be displayed as its typed into the sketch terminal window.

Enter command 1,1,8s (PORT 1,ON,NODE 8) then 1,0,8s (PORT 1,OFF,NODE 8)

[HAHCentral.1]1 g212 @ 868Mhz
OK 8 0
> 8s
 -> 2 b
> 8s
 -> 2 b

The sketch will display “> 8s” when the “s” letter is sent, no CR/LF is necessary. The next line “→ 2 b” indicates that two bytes of data where transmitted.

The output on the other side will now look like this:

[outputNode.1] i8 g212 @ 868Mhz
OUTPUT 0 0 0 0 0
GOT 1 1
Port 1 set on
GOT 1 0
Port 1 set off
