Welcome to the Library Wiki!!!

##First things First

###What is the Library for?

Library, is a software library that allows you to control and program heterogeneous networks through your application. It is build upon mkSense/mac, which is a radio stack that enables the communication among the different motes,which use IEEE 802.15.4 compliant radios, regardless of the technology.

###Why use it?

Suppose you would like to create an interactive application using Arduino board and sunSPOT, what would you have to do??

1. Create a program for each mote in order to send the information you wish about the environment
2. Connect the different gateways that each mote requires for communicating with your personal computer
3. Create your application, which between others, should collect and process the data from each gateway, take decisions act and control the devices back

Tough, isn't it? ... Library makes your work much more easy by providing a common interface to control and program the motes, and since it is built upon mkSense/mac eliminates the different gateways needed to one.

On the next pages full instructions are given on how to deploy mkSense/mac. How to use Library and if you wish extend it. Specifically:

• Deploy mkSense/mac and Library cites the necessary steps to deploy the mkSense/mac radio stack and the Library
• Library's User Interface explains how to use Library to control and program Arduino and SunSPOT together with some examples
• Want to extend? explains how to extend the Library, if you wish to add more devices on the network.
