What is the best hardware for multi-hop WSN ? #9402

Closed mmaxus35 closed 6 years ago

mmaxus35 commented 6 years ago

I have studied Contiki-OS in TelosB mote and so far i have seen that Riot is more promising and opened. I would like to shift my project to Riot-OS. However, for a quick adaptatiton, is there anyone who tried to create a multi-hop newtork using TelosB or Z1. Maybe another hardware which is better ?

Thanks.

Good to see another one working on WSN :) It has been a while since the WSN community shifted to 32-bit platforms.

I'm using Hamilton and Samr21-xpro boards for multihop WSN. CC2650 is another good platform and has better power characteristics than Samr21, but seems like not ported completely yet on RIOT-OS. CC2538 (openmote) is also fine but its active current consumption is pretty high. I don't know if its RIOT driver is robust.

Sadly i still use 16-bit platform because of lack of sources in the University. Yet we are preparing for upcoming season and would like to shift to newest 32-bit platforms and operating system. I would like to know more about Samr21-xpro and investigated a bit. . In the light of your suggestions i will start searching on my thesis. However, I couldn't find any information about Hamilton board ?

Thanks

@mmaxus35 are you aware of the FIT IoT-LAB testbed? The M3 nodes are well supported by RIOT and on the Grenoble (and Lille?) site you can build multi-hop topologies. As for a local setup I'd recommend:

Atmel ATSAM21-XPRO:

STM32Nucleo + external Openlabs radio:

Can we close this issue again?

Sure thanks!
