2. O VERVIEW OF P ROJECT It's hard to figure out where exactly motes are, but the ENSBox platform has mostly solved this with the ability to localize its own nodes and other acoustic sources. The purpose of my research is to integrate motes into the ENSBox system to: use ENSBox as means to localize motes have a mote network trade information with boxes (potentially have mote network help in acoustic localization)

3. W HERE I T HOUGHT I WOULD B E B Y C HECKPOINT ENSBox and single mote communicating Localize the single mote Issue command at ENSBox to start process: ENSBox tells mote to chirp Mote chirps ENSBoxes localize mote from chirp Verify accuracy of ENSBox’s estimate Have started working on localizing multiple motes includes making/borrowing mote network

4. W HERE I A CTUALLY A M A T B Y C HECKPOINT Have not started working with ENSBox at all Have laptop (running MoteNic) communicating with mote Almost able to have my laptop tell mote to chirp Code is currently broken (probably will be fixed by 3/17) In terms of Deliverables Just the broken code

5. W HY I’ M N OT W HERE I T HOUGHT I’ D B E Biggest Issue: Time Didn’t start early on learning basics e.g. TinyOS and nesC, writing code for Emstar Initially didn’t ask for help when I should have Once spent 2 hours trying to fix a config issue that Mike fixed in a matter of minutes Proceeded to repeat this mistake a few more times Other commitments Classes, life Difficulty I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but I didn’t act accordingly I’ve rectify these issues, but only recently Next quarter will be more productive

6. W HAT M ORE I E XPECT T O D O The bare minimum I set for myself: Localize single motes And then localize multiple motes Which includes making/borrowing mote network Analysis of ENSBox platform’s ability to estimate mote locations Extra work if I have time: See how mote network + ENSBoxes can improve node localization
