TinyOS linky
Anyone here doing anything with TinyOS? I'm going to do my senior BSEE capstone project on wireless networked sensors using TinyOS, and I though it'd be cool to check here for others also involved in the project (Yes, I'm on the mailing lists also).
For those who don't know what I'm talking about, TinyOS is an "operating system" for tiny, wireless networked sensors. The idea is you have a "mote", or small sensor module, that has a microcontroller, RF transceiver module, and different sensors (ie temperature, humidity, light, accelerometers, etc). You get a whole bunch of these (ie a network) that can talk to each other and to a base station that receives all of the sensor data & downloads it to a computer for further processing. This lets us monitor certain environments in a totally new way. Check out the site above, there's some great white papers / reports explaining it under Publications.
