Current choices of Sensor Networks
• Motes: requiring programming skill.
• Phidgets: requiring a connection to a personal computer, and a little programming skill.
About eBlocks
• Easy to configure even to non-programming people and non-electronic expertise.
• Each eBlock has a fixed and particular functionality.
• Physical prototype lasts for several years on a 9-volt battery.
• Current high-volume production materials costs of $1.50 to $3.50 per block (depending on the type of block), leading to off-the-shelf prices ranging from $6 to $14.
Different kinds of eBlocks
• Sensor eBlocks
• Output/Display eBlocks
• Arithmetic/Logic eBlocks
• Timer eBlocks
• Communication eBlocks
• Miscellaneous eBlocks
Different levels of system
• Sensor-to-output
