ScatterWeb .NET SDK is a new approach to working with wireless sensor networks. It hides the complexity of embedded programming and offers easy to handle .NET objects that represent the wireless sensors.

 

 

Key features:

• Sensor world available to every developer
• Understandable namespaces and interfaces
• Support for Intellisense and dynamic help
• Well known programming model (events, methods, properties)
• Extensibility of the nodes’ logic (Tiny C#) and instant Intellisense-Update
• Development, deployment and debugging within Visual Studio

 

 

 

Sample C# ScatterWeb .NET Application:

 

Project Goals

---

 

• Extend the .NET tools and architecture to the small devices
• Seamless integration with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
• Development, deployment and debugging
• Visual Studio SDK: project templates and wizards
• Easy access to sensor values, events and functions using well designed namespaces and  interfaces
• Extensibility, e.g. by using virtual machine or a software factory

 

Visual Studio integration

---

 Develop and deploy ScatterWeb .NET software using Visual Studio 2005 or 2008

• Integrated ScatterWeb project templates and starter kits
• Wizard support
• Intellisense
• Integrated build and deploy processes for embedded development

 

 

 

Sample Application

---

 Rapid development using Visual Studio and ScatterWeb.NET SDK

• Goal: 3D visualization, access to the acceleration sensor
• Proof of concept within minutes:

 

 

• Final Solution:

 

 

• The ScatterWeb.NET SDK provides the sensor data over the wireless sensor network
• •The developer can focus on the task
