dc.description.abstractThis thesis covers the investigation and implementation of self-configuring wireless sensor network. The investigation covers early network systems to modern wireless networks. Several wireless networks were compared, with Bluetooth being selected as the implemented network technology and the Zigbee 802.15.4 network being selected for future implementations and developments.The Bluetoo Protocol is described. An investigation into several different open source protocol stacks was made with the BlueZ protocol stack being selected as the implemented Bluetooth stack. Wireless development platforms were also investigated and discussed, with the Axis 82 Development platform being selected as the implemented development platform. A Motornostix Canary was connected to the development platform and used as the sensor input for the network. The Network was implemented and tests were performed and described. Conclusions are made and possible future work is given.en_ZA
