2. OVERVIEW
Obtains sensor readings about the plant and mote’s current state.
Data packets will be sent over the RFM to a base station (another mote) that forwards packets to a computer.
Power is a precious commodity, so conservation is a major goal
Convert the system from a routing network to a beacon network, routing to be handled by hubs (Changed due to localization needs)

3. Overview of Plant Care

4. Rene Motes The Berkeley RENE Motes are programmed with TinyOS.
Sensor data is collected using the ADC of the atmel AT90LS8535 chip (on the mote)
RFM transmistter
UART to communicate with serial port

5. Sensors photo resistor thermistor Irrometer (moisture sensor)
an inductively rechargeable power source

6. Goals Achieved
Completed programming for the hardware that controls sensors for monitoring plants.
Re-implemented an new ACK system with sequence numbers.
Removed routing system, and replaced with a beacon system
Integrated hardware

7. Networking
Run length encoding is used to store the information until there is enough information to fill up a data packet.
Added an ack system to ensure data delivery

8. Power Power conservation methods Run length encoding of data
Turning off the irrometer when not in use
Power down of RFM when not in use (has problems with TinyOS)

9. Difficulties
The Localization research team requested a redesign of the message and network system with one week left to the due date.
Power on Reset does not work properly
Hardware arrived late for integration testing
RFM Power down is appears to have bugs in its TinyOS implementation.
