3. Introduction
TinyOS Very small “operating system” for sensor networks. (core OS 396 bytes).
Follows Component-oriented architecture.
It follows Concurrency based model on tasks and events.
nesC is an extension to C.
nesC follows the concurrency model so all the data races are avoided.
The cricket software constrains various issues like timing, accuracy etc.

4. Tiny OS An “Operating system” for wireless embedded sensor networks.
Actually a set of software components that can be “wired” together into a single binary which is run on the motes.
Minimal OS functions
2 threads of execution: tasks and hardware event handlers
No memory management
Main Ideology
HURRY UP AND SLEEP!!
Sleep as often as possible to save power
High concurrency, interrupt driven (no polling)

10. Visualizing configurations
Connect configurations:
configuration app { }
implementation {
uses c1, c2, c3;
c1 -> c2; // implicit interface set.
c2.out -> c3.triangle;
c3 <- c2.side; }
Partial configurations:
component c2c3 {
provides interface triangle t1;
uses c2, c3;
t1 -> c2.in; C1 C2 C3 C2 C3

11. My Aim
As in the cricket system all the processing done in the PDA attached to the cricket mote, I wanted to do processing at the base station.
For using the cricket RF for dual system I have to make the changes in the cricket program.
The base station contains the cricket mote attached with base station.
Check the different application running on the cricket mote.

14. Cricket software Work done Work remaining. Add storage in flash.
Temp adjustment.
Add units to all outputs but report.
Add setting of units.
Disable RS-232 depending of the test switch position on beacons .
Error codes.
Add coord.. to msg beacon.
Temp to msg beacon.
Work remaining.
Time consideration.
Data transmission using cricket RF.

15. Times consideration In cricket Time factors to be added.
TIMER_OFFSET us
MAX_ALLOWED_TIMER_VAL us
AVG_BEACON_INTERVAL_TIME us
DESYNC_DELAY us
MAX_US_TRAVEL_TIME us
MIN_BEACON_INTERVAL_TIME us
Total time taken in Total calculation = 47ms.
Time factors to be added.
PROPGATION TIME
DESYNC_DELAY
UPDATE TIME.

16. Cricket program Problems
The program that I download from the MIT project is not working well. (Actually there is no simulator tools like TinyViz for running this cricket program on PC)
Some components in the program are missing.
It is not generating the documents.
Because we have to use only the cricket unit for transmission of message we have to make arrange the time that is taken in different operation.
We have to also test the application provided by the cricket.
