How to emulate BACnet communication protocol on raspberry pi stacks

I am currently working on my senior design project. I have made the stack of raspberry pi's. I am just wondering on how to create a BACnet stack where each raspberry pi device is a unique device, with a unique device ID. Additionally, we plan to use a cisco switch to connect with other raspberry pi stacks. I understand that there is a bacpypes module, which is amazing but it is mainly for dealing with a bacnet device. In my scenario, I need to create a stack of raspberry pi's emulating the BACnet communication protocol. It would be really helpful

May I suggest trying BAC0, a python implementation of BACnet. BAC0 is a high level wrapper around bacpypes. And when launched, becomes a BACnet device on any network.

Quickest way:

  1. Compile Steve Karg's BACnet stack by following this: "How to build a FOSS BACnet Server based on Steve Karg’s SourceForge project" on the BITS blog.

  2. Run the BACnet SErver sample executable on each of your Pis:

    cd /demo/server ./bacserv
