If you are using the same hardware/software and getting 0 readings for
only some of the motes you may have hardware issues. Make sure the sensor
boards are securely attached to the motes, and maybe try switching some
around to see if the problem follows.

The "good" values you get will vary some, maybe the bottom couple of bits.
One problem with the temp sensor is that it gets heat from the electronics
and might not indicate the real air temp. Also they are anything but
calibrated so values may vary between devices somewhat dramatically...
