Equipment for course projects

The following is a list of sensor network equipment available for use in students' course projects.

TelosB-Family

• TelosB data sheet

At a high level the TelosB motes have: IEEE 802.15.4 radio, TI MSP430 uProcessor, Integrated antenna, Integrated USB (no need for a programming board).

Sensors: Temperature, light, and humidity.

Quantity: 45

The Tmote Sky and TelosB are functionally equivalent. Any hardware or software information about the TelosB motes also applies to the Tmote Sky.

• EasySen SBT80 Expansion sensorboard for TelosB.

Sensors: Visual light, infrared, acoustic, temperature, dual-axis magnetometer and dual-axis accelerometer.

Quantity: 3 (1 is soldered and need to be removed). More can be ordered. (For reliability, you may need to solder a socket onto the TelosB expansion holes on the PCB.)

Sample code
