In this paper, we describe the implementation of an wireless sensor network testbed. We developed a web-based sensor network gateway and enhanced the Surge program which is used for sending and routing of packets in the sensor field. The developed program can transmit the source data of sensor nodes to the sink node via multi-hop routing, and deliver user commands to actuate sensor related equipments. Moreover, in this testbed, the data transport path from a node to the sink can be monitored. Thus we can approximate the network topology and the relative positions of sensor nodes. We also describe an application of the testbed that is used for controlling a remote robot.
