The Sun Small Programmable Object Technology (Sun SPOT) is a small
wireless sensor/actuator platform programmed entirely in Java "on the
bare metal" (without an OS). It is based on an ARM 9 processor with
512K ram, 4 MB flash, and a 802.15.4 radio part. The Sun SPOT includes
a "demo sensorboard" that hosts a 3-axis accelerometer, temperature
sensor, light sensor, 8 tri-colored LEDs, 6 ADC lines and 9 digital IO
pins. The device includes a battery that recharges when the Sun SPOT
is plugged into a USB port. For longer- term deployments, the system
provides a 36 micro-amp deep sleep mode. The Java VM, called Squawk,
is specially designed for small devices, and can run many applications
in the one VM. This capability, and other features of the Sun SPOT
will be demoed as part of the presentation. Also shown will be
"SPOTWorld," a deployment and management application.
