TELOSB/TMote Sky
From Capsil Wiki
Developed by the University of California, Berekely. It was a new mote design based on experiences with previous mote generations. Berekely designed theTelos with three major goals in mind to enable experimentation: minimal power consumption, easy to use, and increased software and hardware robustness. The use of the MSP430 in Telos gave it apower profile almost one-tenth the consumption of their previous mote platforms

Power
Thesed motes may be powered by two AA batteries and were designed to fit the two AA battery form factor. AA batteries from 2.1 to 3.6V DC may be used but for programming, the minimum power that must be supplied is 2.7V DC. Power will be drawn from the USB port (3V DC) whilst the device is connected directly to a host computer which negates the need for batteries if this is the common use factor of the device. The 16-pin expansion connector can also be used to provide power provided that power does not exceed the maximum value of 3.6V DC.
