Coordinator node connected to a laptop. The USB cable is

providing both power and serial connectivity. A simple application
(running under Cygwin) reads messages (from the USB)
containing sensor data from remote nodes and pushes them to
the internet.

WiSense Sensor node with three pluggable modules. The top most
module hosts several sensors (pressure, temperature, humidity,
light etc.). The middle module is the radio module. In addition it
hosts two sensors (light and temperature), a coin battery
(CR2032) holder and a slide switch (for switching on/off the whole
node). The module at the bottom is the microcontroller board.
Note that the nodes can be plugged in any order.
