A Remote Code Editing Framework for AMRITA Remote Triggered WSN Laboratory

Our AMRITA remote triggered lab (RT Lab) for wireless sensor networks (WSN) offer the students and researchers, an easy, efficient, interactive and user friendly environment to trigger their inquisitiveness by providing them with the sensors, equipments, hardwares and study materials for conducting the lab experiments. RT Lab offers a web-based e-learning platform for the registered users to perform experimentation and coding remotely based on the provided study materials which are shared to them virtually. The users can learn nesC programming language and conduct the coding by means of the code editing interface. The sensor nodes in the WSN testbed, deployed in indoor and outdoor environment, undergoes remote reconfiguration and the sensor data´s are collected by the WSN gateway. The users can observe the experimentation result such as the plotted sensor data and physical representation of the sensor network along with the remote video through the visualization tool. The paper details the design and implementation of remote code editing platform for RT Lab.
