How to configurate the notecard using Notecard CLI.
-
Connect the notecard to your computer with a USB cable.
-
Attach the notecard/drifter to a Notehub project with hub.set
- Ex: {"req":"hub.set","product":"no.met.gauteh:sfy","sn":"DRIFTER$$", "outbound":20}
- product: name of project
- sn: name of drifter
- outbound: When drifter is in motion this is the max time, in minutes, before the drifter synchronizes the data from the Notecard to Notehub.
-
Set notecard´s mode and frequency of location detection with card.loacation.mode
- Ex: {"req":"card.location.mode","mode":"periodic","seconds":600}
- mode:how often it should sample. If periodic it will sample only at set intervals
- seconds: Sampling intervals given in seconds
-
Start tracking using card.location.track
- Ex: {"req":"card.location.track","start":true,"heartbeat":true,"hours":1}
- heartbeat: If "true" enables tracking even when motion is not detected.
- hours: sample interval for heartbeat, given in hours.
