Some of the general instruments available in the SensE Lab
Agilent 66319D Mobile DC environment for long-term energy profiling
Sensor nodes designed and built at UAF
A sensor board based on an MSP430F1232 microcontroller and a Chipcon CC1000 radio [Vadlamani]
(shown with an accelerometer, flash memory, and temperature sensor on board)
A sensor board based on MSP430F1611 and a Nordic 2 Mbps 2.4GHz radio [Lewis]
A new self-configuring sensor board based on MSP430F2618 and a Nordic 2 Mbps 2.4GHz radio [Giesel]
Software development
PC application for displaying the data from a 3-axes magnetometer
Sensor emulator - uses one sensor node to emulate larger WSN [Vadlamani, Lewis]
Intrusion detection using the received signal strenght indicator (RSSI) - recordes and replies the RSSI for a network of Motes [Lisee, Lewis]
Energy and performance evaluation of WSN
High resolution (10 MSps) current drain measurements [Ganapuram]
Sensor node synchronization under extreme temperature conditions [Lewis]
MIPS/mW performance measurements for Texas Instrument MSP430F2618 [Giessel]
Battery-aware GPS node [Giessel]
Microcontroller and accelerometer based motion detecion for adaptive GPS nodes [Giessel]
Embedded Web Server
Embedded Web Server with an 802.11 expansion board. One of the pages it serves is displayed on iPAQ screen. When a sensor node is connected to this web server it can monitor and control the operation of the entire wireless sensor network. [Revuri]
SNR attitude determination using a dual microcontroller (MSP430F149) system with two GPS receivers and antennas mounted on the corner of a cube - rev. 1.2. The system includes an OLED display [Peters, Thorsen]
An improved (rev. 2.1) system for attitude determination with two MSP430F2618 16 MHz microcontrollers featuring a fast 16-bit parallel DMA interface [Peters, Thorsen]
