2. AGENDA
WHAT is the Z1? What’s next
‣ Hardware Using the Z1
‣ Z1 vs. Tmote™ ‣ Create without soldering
WHY the Z1? ‣ Software development kit
What else? ‣ OS
‣ Plug and play sensors Z1 Community
‣ Custom services Viewing data

3. WHAT IS THE Z1
WHAT is the Z1? — A WSN Module
‣ for developers, researchers, ....
‣ seeking to reduce developing time
‣ backwards compatible with Tmote™
‣ enhanced: wakes up 6× faster

4. WHAT IS THE Z1

5. WHAT IS THE Z1

6. Z1 VS. TMOTE™
HW IMPROVEMENTS DIFF’S TO NOTE
MSP430X improves ~2× MSP430F1611 vs. MSP430F2617
‣ in speed, battery and Flash ‣ note 10KB RAM vs. 8KB now
‣ wakes up 6× faster ‣ wakes up 6× faster
54-pin Expansion Connector Temp+humid. sensor vs. temp+accel
‣ (ADC/DAC,USB,I2C,SPI,Int’s ...) ‣ both digital, no light sensor
Calibration Data Kept Safe Printed antenna vs. ceramic + U.FL
I2C & SPI Kept Separated
2×3V Phidgets™ support OoB❉
‣ up to 2×3V + 2×5V
User-Configurable E2PROM
2× External Flash On-board
❉OoB = Out of the Box

7. WHY THE Z1
Tmote™-like HW is very well known, tested
& supported.
WSN O.S.’s: TinyOS & Contiki.
Maximum flexibility & expandability.
Reduce cost, expand features.
Price list:
‣ 1-9 pcs.: 95€
‣ 10-49 pcs.: 85€
‣ 50-99 pcs.: 75€
