Description
Summary:	Wireless sensors networks is an active research topic. The sensor nodes (i.e. motes) are the main building blocks of these networks. There is a permanent concern for building more and more efficient motes in order to satisfy the demanding specifications of a sensor network. This paper introduces a new mote device: aceMOTE which is based on a 32 bit microcontroller. The hardware structure of the mote is presented and a comparison is made with similar popular devices. An experimental analysis is made regarding the energy consumption and the results prove that a 32 bit microcontroller is a viable choice for usage in mote design compared with the more frequently used 8 bit and 16 bit microcontrollers.
