2 MTS101CA

The MTS101CA series sensor boards have a precision thermistor, a light sensor/photocell, and general prototyping area. The prototyping area supports connection to five channels of the Mote’s A-D Converter (ADC3-7) and the I2C digital communications bus. The prototyping area also has 24 unconnected holes that are used for breadboard of circuitry.

2.1 Thermistor

The Thermistor, (YSI 44006, http://www.ysi.com) sensor is a highly accurate and highly stable sensor element. With proper calibration, an accuracy of 0.2°C can be achieved. The Thermistor resistance varies with temperature (see Table and Graph). This curve, although non-linear, is very repeatable. The sensor is connected to the analog-digital converter channel number 5 (ADC5, U1 pin 38) thru a basic resistor divider circuit. In order to use the thermistor, the sensor must be enabled by setting digital control line PW2 high. See circuit below.

2.2 Conversion to Engineering Units

The mote’s adc output can be converted to degrees Kelvin using the following approximation over 0-50 degrees C: 1/T(K) = a + b*Ln(Rthr) + c*[Ln(Rthr)]^3

where: Rthr = R1(ADC_FS-ADC)/ADC a = 0.001010024

b = 0.000242127 c = 0.000000146 R1 = 10K

ADC_FS = 1024

ADC = output value from mote’s ADC measurement.

2.3 Light Sensor The light sensor (Clairex CL94L, http://www.clairex.com) is a simple CdSe photocell. The maximum sensitivity of the photocell is at the light wavelength of 690 nm. Typical on resistance, while exposed to light, is 2Kohm. Typical off resistance, while in dark conditions, is 520Kohm. In order to use the light sensor, digital control signal PW1 must be turned on. The output of the sensor is connected to the analog-digital converter channel 6 (ADC6, U1 Pin 37). See Circuit Below.

X NOTE

If you have downloaded the pdf schematic of the Rene basic sensor board from UC Berkeley, you will note that the A/D channels appear in reverse order. This is due to a difference in wiring between the original Rene Mote and the MICA/MICA2 family of motes.

M WARNING

Never connect signals that are greater than VCC (3V typical) or less than 0V to any of the holes that connect to the Mote Processor Radio board. It is okay to connect different voltages to the non-connected holes. However, be careful. If a voltage out of the range of 0-VCC should reach the Mote Processor Radio Board damage will occur.

3 MTS300CA / MTS310CA

The MTS300CA and MTS310CA .are flexible sensor boards with a variety of sensing modalities. These modalities can be exploited in developing sensor networks for a variety of applications including vehicle detection, low-performance seismic sensing, movement, acoustic ranging, robotics, and other applications. The following section of the user’s manual describes the sensor circuits and general application. Please refer to the schematic diagram at end of section for exact circuit details.

3.1 Microphone The microphone circuit has two principal uses. The first use is for acoustic ranging. The second use is for general acoustic recording and measurement. The basic circuit consists of a pre-amplifier (U1A-1), second-stage amplified with a digital-pot control (U1A, PT2).

This circuit amplifies the low-level microphone output. This output can be fed directly into the analog-digital converter (ADC2) by using the Microphone Output selector circuit (MX1) to connect mic_out signal toe ADC2 signal. This configuration is useful for general acoustic recording and measurement. Audio files have been recorded into the Logger Flash memory of MICA, MICA2 Motes for later download and entertainment (or analysis!). The second stage output (mic_out) is routed thru an active filter (U2) and then into a tone detector (TD1). The LM567 CMOS Tone Detector IC actually turns the analog microphone signal into a digital high or low level output at INT3 when a 4KHz tone is present. This tone can be generated by the Sounder circuit on the sensor board.

A novel application of the sounder and tone detector is acoustic ranging. In this application, a mote pulses the sounder and sends an RF packet via radio at the same time. A second mote listens for the RF packet and notes the time of arrival by resetting a timer/counter on its processor. It then increments a counter until the tone detector detects the sounder. The counter value is the Time-of-Flight of the sound wave between the two motes. The Time -of-Flight value can be converted into an approximate distance between motes. Using groups of Motes with Sounders and Microphones, a crude localization and positioning system can be built

X NOTE

Motes are designed for power efficiency. Hence all the sensors are disconnected from power on the MTS300 and MTS310 sensor boards unless specifically turned on. See section 3.6 for more information.


Doc. # 7430-0020-01 Rev. A Page 9

3.2 Sounder The sounder is a simple 4KHz fixed frequency piezoelectric resonator. The drive and frequency control circuitry is built into the sounder. The only signal required to turn the sounder on and off, is Sounder_Power. Sounder_Power is controlled thru the power control switch (P1) and is set by the hardware line PW2.

3.3 Light and Temperature

As on the MTS101CA, the MTS300CA and MTS310CA have a light sensor and a thermistor.

The thermistor (Panasonic ERT -J1VR103J) on the MTS300CA and MTS310CA is a surface mount component installed at location RT2. It is configured in a simple voltage divider circuit with a nominal mid-scale reading at 25°C. The output of the temperature sensor circuit is available at ADC1. Power is controlled by setting signal INT2.

The light sensor (Clairex CL94L, http://www.clairex.com) is a simple CdSe photocell. The maximum sensitivity of the photocell is at the light wavelength of 690 nm. Typical on resistance, while exposed to light, is 2Kohm. Typical off resistance, while in dark conditions, is 520Kohm. In order to use the light sensor, digital control signal PW1 must be turned on. The output of the sensor is connected to the analog-digital converter channel 1 (ADC1). When there is light, the nominal circuit output is near VCC or full-scale, and when it is dark the nominal output is near GND or zero. Power is controlled to the light sensor by setting signal INT1.

Page 10 Doc. # 7430-0020-01 Rev. A

X NOTE

The light and temperature sensor share the same A/D converter channel (ADC1). Only turn one sensor on at a time, or the reading at ADC1 will be corrupted and meaningless.

3.4 2-Axis Accelerometer (MTS310CA Only) The accelerometer is a MEMS surface micro-machined 2-axis, +/-2G device. It features very low current draw (<1mA) and 10-bit resolution. The sensor can be used for tilt detection, movement, vibration, and/or seismic measurement. The accelerometer, located at U5, is the ADXL202JE and the full datasheet is available at www.analog.com. A summary specification is provided for reference Channels: X (ADC3), Y (ADC4)

G-Range: +/- 2G (1G = 9.8m/s2) Bandwidth DC-50Hz (controlled by C20, C21) Resolution: 2mG (0.002G) RMS

Sensitivity: 167 mV/G +/- 17% Offset: 2.5 V +/- 0.4V

X NOTE

The ADXL202 sensitivity and offset have a wide initial tolerance. A simple calibration using earth’s gravitational field can greatly enhance the accuracy of the ADXL202 sensor. By rotating the sensor into a +1G and a –1G position, the offset and sensitivity can be calculated to within 1%.

3.5 2-Axis Magnetometer (MTS310CA Only) The magnetometer circuit is a silicon sensor that has a unique bridge resistor coated in a highly sensitive NiFe coating. This NiFe coating causes the bridge resistance of the circuit to change. The bridge is highly sensitive and can measure the Earth’s field and other small magnetic fields. A useful applications is vehicle detection. Successful test have detected disturbances from automobiles at a radius of 15 feet. The sensor is the Honeywell HMC1002 sensor. A detailed specification sheet is found at www.ssec.honeywell.com. The output of each axis (X, Y) is amplified by an instrumentation amplifier U6, U7. The amplified output is available at ADC5 and ADC6. Each instrumentation amplifier (U6, U7) can be tuned using the digital potentiometer PT1 that is controlled via the I2C bus.


Doc. # 7430-0020-01 Rev. A Page 11

NOTE

The NiFe core of the magnetic sensor is extremely sensitive. However, it is also subject to saturation. Saturation occurs when the sensor is exposed to a large magnetic field. Unfortunately the MTS310 circuit does not have an automatic saturation recovery circuit (set/reset). This limitation prevents the magnetometer from being useful in applications requiring DC response (for example compassing). There are four pads label S/R (Set/Reset) available on the PCB for adding an external set/reset circuit.

3.6 Turning Sensors On and Off All of the sensors have a power control circuit. The default condition for the sensor is off. This design helps minimize power draw by the sensor board.

In order to turn sensors on, control signals are issued to the power switches. The following table lists the control settings

M WARNING

Never connect signals that are greater than VCC (3V typical) or less than 0V to any of the holes that connect to the Mote Processor Radio board. It is okay to connect different voltages to the non-connected holes. However, be careful. If a voltage out of the range of 0-VCC should reach the Mote Processor Radio Board damage will occur.

5 TinyOS

This section describes how to compile different sensor boards with TinyOS. In the tinyos-1.x/tos/sensorboards directory there are sub-directories for each supported sensor board:

Directory Name Sensor Board Description

/basicsb MTS101CA Basic sensor board

/micasb MTS300CA MTS310CA

MICA sensor board

/micawb not yet released MICA weatherboard (humidity, temperature, barometric pressure, light)

Application code is linked to different sensor boards by modifying the make files in the application directories.

5.1 Building TinyOS Code with Sensor Board To link a sensor board to the application code, edit the local Makefile (in your application directory). Modify the ‘SENSORBOARD= ‘ line. For example, in the apps/MicaWBVerify/TestHumidity application the Makefile is:

COMPONENT=TestHumidity SENSORBOARD=micawb

include ../../Makerules
