[Tinyos-help] Basic configuration (for a lab setup) of crossbow motes for structural health monitoring

[Vaishali Sadaphal]

Hi Everybody,

I am not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question but I will 
be grateful for the advice. I am a researcher in the area of wireless 
sensor network. But a newbie to TinyOS, and motes. 

I am planning to start a project in that we monitors health of bridge 
structures using wireless sensor network. To start with, I plan to have a 
small 9 months program in which we will setup WSN in the Lab.

The lab setup will have around 5 to 10 crossbow motes with accelerometers. 
The vibration data from accelerometers on these motes needs to be 
collected on a PC and analysed. For this purpose, I am planning to order 
crossbow motes. Following is the propsed configuration of the WSN System:

---------------------------------------------------
Wireless Boards: MICAZ 2.4GHz/MICA2 868, 916 MHz: Qty. 8

Sensor boards:  MTS400: Qty. 5,
MTS420: Qty. 3
PC interface: MIB520/MIB600: Qty. 1

NB100 Netbridge: Do I need this (Stargate netbridge)?
------------------------------------------------------
I wished to know :
Is the following configuration complete? Am I missing out on something? 
Is there a better configuration?

I will be grateful for advice.

Thanks and regards
