= Sensor node!
image::ROOT:swarmlab.png[swarmlab,150,float=right]
This tutorial demonstrates: *a.* howto create a mote with Raspberry Pi and Arduino *b.* howto use it
A sensor node, also known as a mote, is a node in a sensor network that is capable of performing some processing, gathering sensory information and communicating with other connected nodes
== Create a mote with Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi is a low-cost credit-card sized single-board computer. The Raspberry Pi was created in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The Raspberry Pi Foundation's goal is to "advance the education of adults and children, particularly in the field of computers, computer science and related subjects."

[NOTE]
.Remember

A mote is a node but a node is not always a mote!

=== Install Raspberry Pi
==== Step 1: Download Raspbian
https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/[Download^] the Raspbian disc image - Choose Raspbian Lite
[NOTE]
.Why Raspbian Lite?
====
Because it is a lightweight version of the Raspbian and it doesn’t have a graphical user interface installed.
This means that it doesn’t have any unnecessary software installed that we don’t need for our projects, so this makes it the perfect solution for future automation projects.
====
==== Step 2: Unzip the file
- Windows users, you’ll want 7-Zip.
- Linux users will use the appropriately named Unzip.
==== Step 3: Write the disc image to your microSD card
Next, pop your microSD card into your computer and write the disc image to it. You’ll need a specific program to do this:
- Windows users, your answer is https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/[Win32 Disk Imager^].
- Linux people, https://www.balena.io/etcher/[Etcher – which also works on Windows – is what the Raspberry Pi Foundation recommends^]
The process of actually writing the image will be slightly different across these programs, but it’s pretty self-explanatory no matter what you’re using.
- Each of these programs will have you select the destination (make sure you’ve picked your microSD card!) and the disc image (the unzipped Raspbian file).
- Choose, double-check, and then hit the button to write.
==== Step 4: Enabling SSH
- Windows users
.Create ssh file (no extension)
image::ROOT:ssh-file-to-sd-card.jpg[alt="Create ssh file"]
- Linux Users
.Create ssh file
[source,bash]
----
sudo fdisk -l
# find dev and Boot partition
sudo mkdir /mnt/sdcardP1
sudo mount /dev/device_partion_boot /mnt/sdcardP1 -rw
cd /mnt/sdcardP1
sudo touch ssh
----
==== Step 5: Put the microSD card in your Pi and boot up
Your default credentials are username **pi** and password **raspberry**
==== Step 6: Access via SSH
- The boot protocol for the ethernet interface is set to DHCP by default
You can find the open SSH ports on your network using the nmap utility:
.find ports on Network
[source,bash]
----
nmap -p 22 --open -sV 192.168.1.0/24
----
You should find your pi listed in the output along with the IP assigned to the pi.
- You can change the boot protocol to static and define a static IP address for the pi by editing the ifcfg-eth0 file:
.static IP address
[source,bash]
----
sudo fdisk -l
# find dev and Boot partition
sudo mkdir /mnt/sdcardP1
sudo mount /dev/device_partion_ext /mnt/sdcardP1 -rw
cd /mnt/sdcardP1
vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
----
Then edit the file to suit your needs
.static IP address
[source,bash]
----
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
NETWORK=192.168.1.0
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=192.168.1.200
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
----
==== Step 7: Configure your Raspberry Pi.
**raspi-config** is the Raspberry Pi configuration tool
.config Pi
[source,bash]
----
sudo raspi-config
----
It has the following options available:
.config options
[source,bash]

==== Serial config on Raspi
.config 1 (recommended)

reboot
----
This gives read/write permission for all users to the Raspberry Pi (potentially unsafe):
.config 2
[source,bash]
----
sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyACM0
----
This provides some configuration for the Arduino serial connection:

====
Read the writing carefully on your Raspberry Pi circuit board to confirm it indicates something like “Raspberry Pi 4 Model B” or “Raspberry Pi 2 Model B”. If in doubt, run the following command in the terminal:
$ uname -m
If the result returned starts with **“armv6”**, you are running a Raspberry Pi based on the older ARMv6 chipset and the next Node.js installation step **will not work**; otherwise, you are ready for the next step.
