What is a Tmote ?  Reliable low-power wireless sensor. Moteiv  Moteiv is a venture-funded company that provides wireless sensor networking solutions to enterprises worldwide.  Moteiv's founding team has several decades of collective experience leading the implementation of the world's largest wireless sensor network deployments from UC Berkeley.

Different motes for different folks!  Tmote Sky  Tmote Invent  Tmote Connect

Different Tmotes  Tmote Sky  Widely proven platform for wireless sensor systems deployments. Tmote Sky is the wireless sensor module of choice for large-scale, high data-rate sensor network applications requiring ultra low-power, high-reliability and ease of development. Tmote Sky Tmote Sky  Tmote Sky offers a number of integrated peripherals including a 12-bit ADC and DAC, Timer, I2C, SPI, and UART bus protocols, and a performance boosting DMA controller.

Different Tmotes  Tmote Invent  Wireless sensing unit.  Pre-integrated on-board sensors.  Light, temperature, vibration (2-axis accelerometer) and sound (microphone).  Tmote Invent includes a speaker for auditory feedback, headphone jack for discrete applications, and LEDs for visual feedback.

Trawler Application: java com.moteiv.trawler.Trawler

Trawler Application:

TinyOS  TinyOS system, libraries, and applications are written in nesC.  nesC applications are built out of :  Components with well-defined, bidirectional interfaces.  nesC concurrency model:  tasks and hardware event handlers  detects data races at compile time.

Blink Application:  Blink.nc configuration Blink { } implementation { components Main, BlinkM, SingleTimer, LedsC; Main.StdControl -> BlinkM.StdControl; Main.StdControl -> SingleTimer.StdControl; BlinkM.Timer -> SingleTimer.Timer; BlinkM.Leds -> LedsC; }

Blink Application:  BlinkM.nc module BlinkM { provides { interface StdControl; } uses { interface Timer; interface Leds; } }

Blink Application:  implementation { command result_t StdControl.init() { call Leds.init(); return SUCCESS; } command result_t StdControl.start() { return call Timer.start(TIMER_REPEAT, 1000) ; } command result_t StdControl.stop() { return call Timer.stop(); } event result_t Timer.fired() { call Leds.redToggle(); return SUCCESS; } }

nesC Documentation: Component: Blink2 configuration Blink2 Blink2 is a basic application that toggles the LEDs on the mote on every clock interrupt. The clock interrupt is scheduled to occur every second. The initialization of the clock can be seen in the Blink2 initialization function, StdControl.start().
