MPR300CA Block Diagram

Base Station:
The basestation allows the aggregation of
sensor network data onto a PC or other
computer platform. The MICA architecture
is unique in that any sensor node
51 Pin Expansion Connector
(MPR300CA) module can function as a
basestation by plugging the MPR300CA
processor/radio board into a basic interface
board, known as the Mote interface board.
