Getting started with the RF12 wireless module on a JeeNode

I recently ordered a couple of JeeNode v6 boards. These boards are mostly Arduino-compatible (standard shields won’t fit) and optionally contain an RF12 radio module. They are ideal for creating wireless sensors.

Download and install the Arduino IDE
Set your serial port and speed correctly (57600 baud)
Download and install the Ports library and RF12 library (see below)

On Mac OS X, the Arduino IDE stores your sketches in your home directory, under ~/Documents/Arduino. Open a Terminal window and type the following commands:

cd ~/Documents/Arduino
mkdir libraries
cd libraries
svn co svn://svn.jeelabs.org/jeelabs/trunk/libraries/Ports
svn co svn://svn.jeelabs.org/jeelabs/trunk/libraries/RF12

Done! The RF12 library is now installed. Do not forget the Ports library, or you [...]
