Crossbow provides a broad variety of sensor boards and data acquisition cards that connect to our wireless modules and provide for both direct sensing connectivity as well as external sensor capabilities.
All MICA and IRIS family sensor boards from Crossbow are supported with drivers in the MoteWorks Software Platform. The ITS sensor board interfaces directly with our Imote2 platform with system software available from open source.
The sensor boards, combined with a wireless module, provide an out-of-the-box wireless sensor network for rapid prototyping, application development and deployments.
Sensing capabilities include: ambient light, barometric pressure, GPS, magnetic field, sound, photo-sensitive light, photo resistor, humidity and temperature
A convenient overview and comparison of the capabilities provided with each sensor board or data acquisition card is provided in the product reference guide
