My entire 54 mote network is set up with connections to a network of desktop PCs with serial ports, which I intend to exploit for ground truth purposes in the future. However, I find that for my purposes logging the messages from a base station captures the information I want. Printf is very useful for debugging and I think it could easily be used for your purposes by connecting at least a subset of your network to PCs. When we get new office desktops, we bolt the old ones to the wall in our lab for data collection purposes. Eric
