MansOS has support for:

  • LEDs
    • On Tmote Sky: red, green, and blue
    • On Arduino: just yellow
    • On Waspmote: red and green
    • On SADmote: just red
  • Bidirectional serial port communication
    • Sending data to serial port
    • Reading input from serial port
  • Reading sensors
    • Light
    • Temperature
    • Humidity
    • Accelerometer and gyroscope
    • Data from a GPS device (NMEA stream)
    • Other sensors using analogue interface (just specify the correct ADC channel)
    • Other sensors using digital I2C interface (write your own driver the particular device you wish to support)
  • Hardware access
    • I2C protocol (including several versions of software-I2C protocol)
    • SPI protocol (including software SPI implementation that uses bit-banging)
    • USART port resource arbitration
  • Storing data on flash or SD card:
    • Optionally, using a file system
  • Radio communication
    • Packet sending
    • Packet receiving
    • Measuring the strength of received radio signal in different channels (in this way, a primitive spectrum analyzer can be built!)
    • Optionally: TinyOS frame format support
    • Optionally: rudimentary 802.15.4 MAC frame format support
  • Networking stack
    • Sending data to a specific mote in the network
    • Sending data to all motes in the network
    • Sending data reliably
    • Collecting data from the whole network
    • Synchronizing time in the whole network
  • Management
    • Controlling a specific mote by using an application running on computer
    • Controlling whole network of motes at once
    • Reading the address, serial number, sensor data etc.
    • Rebooting the mote, turning LEDs on and off etc.
    • Reprogramming the mote, including over-the-air reprogramming
  • Parallel execution
    • Preemptive multitasking
    • Locking (mutual exclusion)
    • Optionally, cooperative multitasking (similar to Contiki protothreads)
  • Output to LCD display (HD44780-compatible)
  • Low power modes
    • msleep() and usleep() functions will automatically put the sensor device in low power mdoe
