Writing a GPS Device Driver for the MTS420CC sensor board on TinyOS
نویسندگان
چکیده
The MTS420CC board by Crossbow Technology, Inc. is a sensor module containing—among other sensors— a GPS receiver. A TinyOS device driver for that receiver has been implemented on the IRIS series of motes. This report gives an overview over the driver’s implementation and gives some ideas for further development and for porting it to other mote architectures.

Improving Sensor Node Clock Accuracy Through Temperature Compensation
In this paper, we present a method to significantly reduce sensor node clock drift by utilizing the on-board temperature sensor found within a node’s microcontroller. We characterize the relationship between temperature and oscillator frequency, then create a clock drift model using this characterization. The model is then installed into a TinyOS virtual timer component. We show that this modif...
متن کاملA Hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS Sensor Fusion with WLFP for Flying Robo-SAR's Navigation
In this paper, we present the results of a hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS/WLFP sensor fusion to be used in navigation system devices. Due to low quality of the inertial sensors, even a short-term GPS failure can lower the integrated navigation performance significantly. In addition, in GPS denied environments, most navigation systems need a separate assisting resource, in order to increase the avail...
متن کاملRoad Grade Estimation Results Using Sensor and Data Fusion
Advanced driver assistance systems for heavy duty vehicles, such as lookahead cruise and gearshift controllers, rely on high quality map data. Current digital maps do not offer the required level of road grade information. This contribution presents an algorithm for on-board road grade estimation based on fusion of GPS and vehicle sensor data with measurements from previous runs over the same r...
متن کاملKinematic GPS for Closed - Loop Control of Farm and Construction Vehicles
Operating heavy equipment can be a difficult and very tedious task; control of an agricultural tractor requires the continuos attention of the driver, and farmers often work long hours during the critical times of planting and harvesting. Loaders and other ground vehicles are frequently used in situations which are unpleasant or even hazardous for the human operator. In the past, some efforts h...
متن کاملSensor Network Lab Exercises Using TinyOS and MicaZ Motes
MIT Technology Review lists sensor networks as one of “Ten Emerging Technologies That Will Change the World” [1]. This paper describes three lab exercises that are suitable for activity-driven teaching of sensor networks to undergraduate students. The exercises are derived from the TinyOS tutorial, and MicaZ motes were used. The first exercise is about uploading a simple blink program to one mo...
