Telosb Mote is an open source platform made to facilitate advanced experimentation for the research domain. It includes all the necessary things for lab studies into one unique platform that includes USB programming potentiality, a low-power MCU with elaborated memory, an IEEE 802.15.4 radio with incorporated antenna, an elective sensor suite, etc. By delivering low-power consumption, this platform facilitates long battery life and quick awakens from sleep rate. This is powered by 2 AA batteries and is completely compatible with the open source TinyOS distribution.
When the Telosb Mote is plugged into the USB port to communicate or programming, power will be given from the host computer. One best thing with this platform is that it does not need battery pack when it is permanently connected to the USB port. It enables users to interface with additional instruments. The onboard jumpers and 2 expansion connectors may be assembled to control analog sensors, LCD displays and digital peripherals. This platform supports self-configuring, large-scale sensor networks.
