Difference between mica & micaz
Can Mica be used for wireless sensor networks
Use of Zigbee,, is it neccessary?
What can Micaz do that Mica can’t?
What is the usage of the Mica2 OEM product
Price list for the UK market?
if I incorporate in my product what would the requirements for licencing be?
Aim
1. Want to start Developing own apps first
2. If integrating into other apps which product best to use

Need to develop application to graphically show topology of UCL testbed.
Graphical location of all nodes
Graphical location of soekris boxes
Connections amongst nodes and boxes
Admin Panel :
- Add New nodes
- Delete new nodes
- Set position
- Set connected nodes
Reservation:
Things to do:
- Create DB or Parse XML
- Motes
- Connections
- Soekris Boxes
- Users
- Jobs
- Connections
- Register Resources -Motes
- Display motes on screen based on position set in db
- On highlighting mote – display mote information -id, name, status, link to schedule
- On selection – link to node information, link to connection
Admin
Login: Username / password
Testbed schedule: assigned jobs – testbed usage times
Reservations: Select a soekris box to use – Select a timeslot – Select a mote
Testbed usage
Load executables: upload class files to directories to run for analysis
