WSNs that are deployed outdoors might be exposed to harsh environmental conditions. To enable convenient studies of the impact of temperatures on WSNs, we developed a box that allows the control of the temperature. In anticipation on climatic chambers, this boxes allow the emulation of given temperature values.
The intention of this work in progress is to evaluate real world temperature conditions. In general climatic chambers can be used to control environmental conditions. However, those devices are expensive and are therefore not suitable to test distributed systems such as WSNs. For this reason PotatoBox was developed to strike a balance between costs and functionalities.
