As I understand it, the Crickets have the same radio design as the Mica2 motes that operate in the 433 MHz band. You can verify yourself with the Cricket schematic located here:
http://cricket.csail.mit.edu/software2.0/Cricket_Mote_Schematic_6310-0335-02_b.pdf The Crickets have a built-in antenna on the PCB (which I don't believe that Mica2 has). Crickets also have a connector for an external antenna. In general, xbow's documentation and software for the Crickets are generally out of date so you should refer to the Cricket webpage here: http://cricket.csail.mit.edu/ -David On Tue, 2005-03-15 at 09:58 -0800, Affan, Syed wrote: > Hello, > I was wondering if the Radio specifications (range/power > characteristics) of the Cricket motes are exactly the same as of the > mica2, or is there something different.
