how to trigger motion to a node when certain event happens

[ammi]

Hello,
how are you all doing?

I am using MiXiM and I am working on simulation of communication
protocol for sensor network of mobile robots. I want my robotic node
to move from its current position to specified destination on the
occurrence of a some event. How do I do that?

Thanks a lot for your time and help,
Ammi

Hi!

Read the manual
(omnet 3.2): http://www.omnetpp.org/doc/omnetpp33/manual/usman.html -> section "9.6 Enhancing animation"
(omnet 4.1): http://www.omnetpp.org/doc/omnetpp41/manual/usman.html#sec323 ->section: 10 Network Graphics And Animation

Hi Ammi,
I'm using MiXiM for WSN. In particular I'm now focusing on network
layer to implement some kind of dummy routing....


I'm not sure that your problem is on display, but on how to move nodes
depending on some events right? Anyway, your problem interests me so,
please, let me updated.

First of all, try to take a look at Mobility classes (BaseMobility) to
understand how to move the node. Regarding the triggers you have two
choices:
- Use message passing. Like every other modules, you can connect a
"Event Manager" to your node in order to capture the events and send
messages to the nodes that are interested on. You can take inspiration
from Connection Manager.
- Use mutexes or signals. If you don't want to add gates and
connections, you can use mutexes or signals for the communication
between the Event Manager and the nodes.

I hope that it is useful for you

Hello Harald,

Thanks for the reply, I did read the links.
The problem is: the network I wanted to simulate is mobile wireless
sensor network, needed a function that handles the run time
connection issues while the node moves depending on the transmission
power of the nodes.
I would also like to pass an argument to the moving node where and
when to move. Thanks again for the help, any sort of suggestion or
example is appreciated.

Thanks,
Ammi

Hi, the function you mention is exactly the ConnectionManager.It
decide which node is connected and which not. Try to run "BaseNetwork"
example to see it working.

About the movement I suppose you have to write your own mobility
module...it should be not too difficult.
