Abstract :
We present the Energy Neutral Speck (ENS) wireless sensor network platform. The ENS is a mote like platform powered by combination of photo-voltaic and battery power supplies. The design and implementation of the platform are described including the hardware, firmware and operating system along with the architecture and implementation of a software framework for interfacing with the network and visualisation and storage of sensor data.
