Zolertia Z1 mote

Brief

The Z1 mote is equipped with a second generation MSP430F2617 low power microcontroller, which features a powerful 16-bit RISC CPU @16MHz clock speed, built-in clock factory calibration, 8KB RAM and a 92KB Flash memory. Also includes the well known CC2420 transceiver, IEEE 802.15.4 compliant, which operates at 2.4GHz with an effective data rate of 250Kbps.

Z1 hardware selection guarantees the maximum efficiency and robustness with low energy cost.

Z1 comes with built-in digital sensors ready to work: a digital programmable accelerometer (ADXL345) and a digital temperature sensor (TMP102) are on the main board. Many sensors can be connected to the Z1 mote, Phidgets are supported out-of-the-box, also I2C sensors can be connected to the Ziglet defacto port, and UART/ADC/SPI communication is available.

The Z1 mote does not require additional HW to program, just an USB cable, also you can use JTAG for programming and debugging.

You can power the Z1 mote with batteries (3.3V) or using 5V from the u-USB port.
