Abstract

Wireless sensor nodes are becoming more and more considered for a wide variety of application scenarios. But by going into real world scenarios requirements becomes more complex and must be covered more accurate. Furthermore, these requirements must be met by a development process that is driven by the factors of cost and time. Reusing components is a promising way to make such a development process more efficient. We present a flexible and customizable sensor node platform which follows the objective to assemble as few functional units as possible on a single Printed Circuit Board (PCB). The PCBs are connected by a standardized board-to-board connector, which makes a free ordering and mixture of different modules possible. We will show that by using a standardized Mote Component Interconnect (MCI) an extension as well as an adaption of a sensor node to new scenarios becomes feasible by adding or replacing single platform components. The presented sensor node platform allows a fast and inexpensive development process as is necessary for current and upcoming real word applications.
