Answer 1:

  • How often to you receive a health report from each of the motes?

  • Make sure you receive at least one Device Health Report from one of your motes. What is the value of the "charge" field?

  • How much charge is contained in a pair of AA batteries?

  • Given the time at which you started the lab, what is the expected lifetime of that mote? Point out the major catch with this calculation.

  • Wait for a "discovered neighbors" health report. How many neighbors has your mote discovered?

  • Can your mote discover neighbors from other networks around you?
