Build a datalogger for your wireless sensor network
We needed a datalogger that provided a timestamp, and that would last 2 weeks in the woods. Using a laptop would require a generator or humongous battery. This Instructable shows how to make a datalogger from an Arduino and datalogger shield connected to a TelosB wireless sensor board and a battery that is large, but not wheelbarrow large. Your data goes onto a SD memory card on the datalogger for pickup later (whenever you have to change the batteries on all the wireless radios in your network, for example). The main challenge is getting the serial signal out of the TelosB before it gets translated into USB. We could probably have reprogrammed the TelosB to output the serial on another pin, but why program when you can solder?

TinyOS Community Forum || An open-source OS for the networked sensor regime.
Z-Monitor is a free tool for monitoring and controlling IEEE 802.15.4 Low Power Wireless Personal Area Networks. It provides a convenient solution for researchers and students for developing, debugging and deploying wireless sensor network applications. The tool is compatible with the IEEE 802.15.4 implementation of the TinyOS 15.4 WG and has also been tested and validated with the open-ZB implementation. Z-Monitor currently supports only TelosB motes, but it will soon be extended to a wider range of COTS platforms.

Inventgeek.com - Open Source Server Room Monitor - Overview
This project is near and dear to the sprout board crew. Ultimately this concept was the genesis of a flexible platform with many applications. As our designs evolved we realized the tremendous opportunity to create something meaningful with this concept. This focus ultimately guided our decision process create completed projects in place of generic code snippets as a way to encourage the actual use of our projects.
