LOTUS

LOTUS is an advanced wireless node platform developed around the low power ARM7 Cortex M3 CPU and incorporates the best of IRIS, TelosB and Imote2 onto a single board. LOTUS is built on a modular and stackable design, incorporating connectors for expansion boards, and features several new capabilities that enhance the overall functionality of MEMSIC’s wireless sensor networking products and solutions. LOTUS is backward compatible with MEMSIC’s MDA and MTS range of Sensor Data Acquisition Boards.

LOTUS is factory configured to run RTOS (Real Time Operating System). Several other options are also available for LOTUS, including MEMSIC Kiel, RTOS, IAR Systems, Free RTOS, MoteRunnerTM and TinyOS. The 51pin expansion connector supports Analog Inputs, Digital I/O, I2C, SPI and UART interfaces enabling ease of connection to a variety of external peripherals.

IRIS

The IRIS is a 2.4 GHz Mote used for enabling low-power wireless sensor networks. Available as a module (M2110) or board-level platform (XM2110), IRIS provides users with high-level functional integration designed to optimize the addition of wireless mesh networking technology to a wide variety of custom sensing applications providing up to three times improved radio range and twice the program memory over previous generations of MICA Motes.

MEMSIC has opted to bundle its IRIS wireless sensor motes with a new software platform invented by IBM scientists in Zurich called Mote Runner. Together with the Mote Runner software development environment, this advanced hardware and software combination offers clients a user-friendly platform for testing, debugging, and maintaining applications for MEMSIC IRIS motes running Mote Runner.
