Thank you. That was the information I was looking for. If I were to  
use the mda100 (datasheet: 
http://www.memsic.com/support/documentation/wireless-sensor-networks/category/7-datasheets.html?download=168%3Amts-mda
 
  ) how would I physically connect wires to the holes on the board? I  
was thinking I would need some sort of terminal block but wouldn't the  
mote get in the way? Thanks.
