[t] TMote: working with matlab

There are nice documentation for tiny-os. How to use Matlab to interact with TMote is mentioned in one of the sections. Briefly: 1) Several tmote measure signals and transfer them through radio link. 2) A base tmote connected to PC get the radio signal, unpack the data, and send it to UART(USB). 3) User can read raw data directly from UART(USB) , or, use SerialForwarder to forward the raw data to a local network port. 4). The java application: osilloscope can plot signals (it supports multi-sensor or multi-channel!). 5) Matlab can call java directly. With the help of JavaMatlabControl class, java can also call Matlab.
