摘要:The basic component of wireless sensor
networks is sensor node, and it is one of the most investigated complex
issues in wireless sensor networks. Within this investigation concept, one of
the major topics focused on wireless sensor networks is designing sensor node
equipment. In this study, a new wireless sensor node design was proposed. In
this design, a low-power PIC and a low-power transceiver-receiver device were
used. In order to connect various sensors to the node, an expansion slot was
designed. The software that runs on the microcontroller was written in the
PIC-C language, and it could be adapted for different routing algorithms and
sensor types. So this paper presents an alternative low cost and low powered
sensor node design and implementation for usage of the researchers and
practitioners.
