Hi Aaron,

This can be a difficult task depending on how ad-hoc you want to be, i
believe. If you want to know the capabilities of a stock-mote and know the
type of sensor board you're dealing with you could probably use a framework
like SPINE. But if you're dealing with motes whose making is not known to
you (maybe with custom sensors hooked up to the ADC) this seems difficult
if not impossible.

I think your best bet is a functionality-mapping framework like SPINE that
knows what sensors are present on stock-motes given a certain sensor board
( I.e SHIMMER, TelosB, etc).

Really interesting question.

Best regards,
Martin
