In this paper, Simple-API for an Arduino-based platform sensor mote is proposed. It is designed especially to reduce the complexity and the difficulty in dealing with MCU hardware register, interface driver, hardware register and device driver, with which the wireless sensor network (WSN) application developers need to involve during software development. Simple-API allows developers to focus more on algorithm design and coding only at the application level, thus providing a more convenient and faster means in developing an application for WSNs. When comparing to the commercially popular Waspmote platform, it is obvious that coding using Simple-API requires less effort in coding by minimizing the complexity in dealing with hardware level coding.
