Frequently asked questions
For which hardware platforms is Mote Runner available?
Currently, Mote Runner runs on Crossbow Iris motes. We are evaluating
other mote platforms for porting. If you have a particular interest
in using Mote Runner on a specific mote platform, let
us know.
Which operating system do I need to use the Mote Runner tools?
We are targeting Windows XP, MacOS X, and Linux. The first release of the
Mote Runner tools will be for Windows XP only.
Which programming languages does Mote Runner support?
Applications for Mote Runner can be developed in Java and C#, whereby modules
written in one language can be used by the other language. Technically
it should be possible to use many strongly-typed programming languages
with Mote Runner by converting its compiler output to the Mote Runner intermediate
language.
Which browsers do you recommend for reading the documentation?
For the time being, the documentation looks best in Firefox and Safari.
