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 tirsdag den 2. juli 2013 skrev Aaron : > Hello!
