The WSN430 mote
Versions
The WSN430 features a MSP430 micro-controller and a radio. There are two versions of the board:
the WSN430 1.3b features a CC1100 radio, which communicates at 868MHz
the WSN430 1.4 features an IEEE802.15.4-compliant CC2420 radio, communicating in the 2.4GHz ISM frequency band
Both versions are supported by OpenWSN.
WSN430v13b | WSN430v14 |
---|---|
Components
MSP430F1611 microcontroller (16bit, 48 kb flash, 10kB RAM)
CC1101 or CC2420 radio chip (depending on version)
TSL2550 light sensor
DS1722 temperature sensor
M25P80 external flash memory (1 MB)
3,7V battery (830 mAh)
Datasheets, Schematics and Resources
Although the board is fully supported by OpenWSN, the WSN430 board is NOT developed by the OpenWSN team. Below are links to the official WSN430 documentation, as well as additional resources we find useful:

If you're using the MSP430-JTAG by Olimex, it connects to your computer's parallel port. You need to allow the List the available parallel ports:
Grant read/write access to the parallel port your MSP430-JTAG is connected to
|
Using the following commands, you will:
- launch
mspdebug
on the parallel port - load and run the
01bsp_leds_prog.ihex
binary image - load and run the
test_leds_xtal.ihex
binary image

IoT-LAB Testbed Support
IoT-LAB is a large-scale open wireless sensor network testbed operated by the French CNRS and INRIA research institutions. It features 2728 low-power sensor motes deployed in 6 different research centers throughout France. Among these 2728 motes, over 1000 are WSN430 boards.
An IoT-LAB node consists of 3 interconnected boards:
- The "Open Node", a WSN430 fully programmable by the user (the board closest to us in the picture above)
- The "Gateway" the board which connects the WSN430 to the IoT-LAB infrastructure and the Internet (the larger board in the picture above)
- The "Control Node", a second WSN430 node, not programmable by the use, but used for monitoring (the board furthest from us in the picture above)

Building for IoT-LAB
The IoT-LAB's management interface allows you to load binaries images onto the boards. These images are in the "intel-standard" format, and contain the hexadecimal representation, in ASCII characters, of each byte. This means that they can be opened by a regular text editor.
For example, the following is the 00std_uart
application for the WSN430v14, in "intel-standard" format:
