We are developing a lightweight experimentation platform for wireless sensor networks. The main objective of this platform is to be easily transferable and deployable on the field. It allows a simplified deployment of the code running on the sensors and the collection of logs generated by the instrumentation of the code on a centralized database. In the early stage of the platform, the sensors are powered by small PCs, e.g. Raspberry Pis, but we are investigating the integration of energy harvesting capabilities such as solar panels. First practical deployments of the platform will be used to showcase some protocols developed in the team in 2015.
