Abstract

This chapter focuses on three major wireless sensor node technologies (Sun SPOTS, Arduino and TinyOS) to help the reader choose what would best fit his/her applications. Our goal is to provide the basic useful information required to quickly start working (or just playing) with them in less than a few hours.
