3. Waspmote Plug & Sense!’s Hardware Setup
Here we show the most basic points about the hardware configuration:
3.1. ON/OFF Button
This button is used to turn ON or OFF Waspmote. It is a latch type button with two static positions as shown below. In ON
position, the button remains a bit lower than LED ring.
Figure : On / Off button at off position
Figure : Turning On Waspmote
-4-
3.2. External LED
ON / OFF button includes a red ring led, which can be managed by software. This led can be used for instance to know that
Waspmote is ON, or for debugging purposes at developing phase. By default, Waspmote Plug & Sense! comes with a code that
blinks briefly (3 times in less than one second) this led when it is turned ON. The LED can be managed specifying ON time or
just setting this state with specific API functions. The user should take into account that the usage of this led will increase power
consumption due to external LED consumes 4.4 mA.
Figure : Waspmote turned On
3.3. Resetting Waspmote Plug & Sense! with an external magnet
Waspmote Plug & Sense! it can be reset with an external magnet, with no contact. If one node stops working or if a defective
behavior is detected, it would be costly to uninstall the node to bring it back to laboratory. This feature allows the network
manager to reset the node in a quick and easy way.
The hardware consists of a reed switch connected to the Waspmote reset line. When the user gets the magnet close to the reedswitch, the reset is activated. When the user moves the magnet away, the reset line is released (the external LED will blink) and
Waspmote executes the bootloader first and then, the setup function. After the setup, it will continue with the loop function.
Next pictures shows the right way to reset the node using an external magnet, first moving it closer, and then moving it away.
Figure : Moving the magnet closer to the node.
-5-
Figure : Moving the magnet away from the node.
The magnet is made of neodymium. It is a special, high-power magnet. We only advise to use the magnet Libelium provides.
It is not mandatory, but highly recommended to consider this feature when designing the project. The user should design the
software in a way the node can be reset if things go wrong. Remember that laboratory tests are always needed to validate the
feature before your final deployment.
When the node is already deployed in the field, and for instance it is installed in a traffic light, this feature can be used to reset
the node easily, as it is shown in the diagram below, where a technician uses a pole with the magnet attached in one side.
Figure : Applying the magnet in a real deployment

3.4. USB
This connector is used to upload code into Waspmote with a male to male USB cable provided by Libelium. Just connect one
side of the cable to this connector, removing protection cap and connect the other side to a PC to upload a code. Next picture
shows an example.
Figure : USB connector and protective cap
Figure : Connecting the USB cable to Waspmote
When uploading processes are finished, do not forget to screw firmly the protection cap to avoid connector damage.
-7-
3.4.1. External SIM socket
The External SIM socket replaces the USB socket in two devices:
••
••
Waspmote Plug & Sense! 4G
Meshlium
The External SIM socket is composed of 2 connectors:
••
••
micro-SIM card
micro-USB (type B)
Figure : External SIM socket in a Plug & Sense! 4G
The operation with the micro-USB socket is just the same than with the normal USB socket. Just remember to use a micro-USB
cable.
Figure : Connecting the micro-USB cable to Plug & Sense! 4G
-8-
The micro-SIM card connector allows the user to connect the SIM card he likes from the outside. You can ask your
telecommunication provider for a micro-SIM card. Alternatively you can take a normal SIM card and transform it into a microSIM card with a SIM card cutter.
Besides, the micro-SIM card connector has a push-pull mechanism, so it is really easy to remove the card with the aid of one nail.
Figure : Push-pull mechanism in the External SIM socket
It is highly important to turn off the Plug & Sense! device in a secure way before inserting a micro-SIM card, or removing an
existing SIM-card. The user can damage the device if this operation is done “on-the-fly”.
Make sure you closed the External SIM socket with its protection cap before outdoors deployment.
Take into account that the External SIM socket has a limited resistance so please be gentle and do not push too hard with the
USB or SIM card.
Figure : Inserting a SIM card with care in the External SIM socket

3.5. Antenna
By default Waspmote Plug & Sense! has one external antenna with a standard reverse polarized SMA connector. This connector
allows to connect the RF antenna.
Figure : Antenna connector of the enclosure
To ensure good RF coverage, be sure antenna points to the sky and also be sure antenna is screwed completely to the connector.
To connect the antenna, just align it with the connector and screw it carefully. Antenna must be connected in order to ensure
RF communication.
Figure : Connecting antenna to the enclosure
Note: Once Waspmote Plug & Sense! is installed, it is recommended to fix it using a tape like the one shown in the picture below.
-10-
Figure : Recommended tape
Figure : Ensure antenna remains in the right position
Do not try to connect other kind of antennas which do not match with SMA RP standard connector and also other antennas not
provided by Libelium.
Waspmote Plug & Sense! 4G is a special case because it has 3 connectors for 3 antennas:
••
••
••
Cellular communications (main)
Cellular communications (receiver diversity, secondary antenna)
GPS signal receiver
The 3 antennas are just the same model. You can see how to connect the 3 antennas in the following figure:

4. Waspmote IDE: Download and Installation
The first step is to install the Waspmote IDE (Integrated Development Environment).
This IDE can be found on:
http://www.libelium.com/development/plug_&_sense/sdk_and_applications
The Waspmote IDE is based on the open source Arduino platform compiler, following the same style of libraries and operation.
It is important to use the version found on Libelium website and no other version of Arduino IDE. This is because the version
available on the Libelium website has been properly tested and for which we can assure optimum operation.
-12-
5. Compiling a New Program
To use the Waspmote IDE compiler we must run the executable script called ‘Waspmote’, which is in the folder where the
compiler has been installed.
Waspmote IDE is divided into 4 main parts which can be seen in the following figure.
IDE options
Buttons: opening and
uploading codes
Main Code
Output messages
Figure : IDE – Waspmote parts
••
••
••
The first part is the menu which allows configuration of general parameters such as the selected serial port.
The second part is a button menu which allows compilation, opening, saving or loading the selected code on the board.
The third part contains the main code which will load in Waspmote and the fourth part shows us the possible compilation
and load errors, as well as the success messages if the process is carried out correctly.
The Waspmote IDE buttons panel allows certain functions to be carried out such as opening a previously saved code, creating a
new one or loading the code on the board. The following figure shows the panel and the functions of each button.
-13-
Figure : IDE – Waspmote panel of buttons
The next step is to configure the folder where the created programs are going to be saved. In the Waspmote IDE, this folder is
called ‘sketchbook’ and can be configured by accessing the ‘File/Preferences’ tab. Clicking on this tab will open a new window
where the location of the sketchbook can be indicated. Once the sketchbook folder path is indicated, the downloaded test
program must be saved in this folder.
Waspmote IDE must be closed so that the changes and the newly saved program in the sketchbook folder are reflected.
-14-
6. Uploading a New Program to Waspmote Plug & Sense!
Using the USB connector, a new code can be uploaded to Waspmote without opening Waspmote Plug & Sense!. Just connect
one side of the USB cable to this connector, removing protection cap if necessary and connect the other side to a PC. Remember
that Waspmote must be ON to allow uploading a new code. Next steps describe this process in detail.
Step 1: Open the USB connector
Remove the protection cap of the USB connector.
