The document discusses the Arduino, an open-source hardware and software platform for building electronics projects. It proposes creating a standardized framework and modular examples to make it easier to combine different Arduino sensors, displays and wireless communication modules into more complex projects. This would allow users to "grab" various components like temperature sensors, light sensors and LCD displays and quickly integrate them into an application that can wirelessly transmit results using the Arduino. A number of existing and proposed projects are referenced that relate to distributed sensing with Arduinos and wireless transmission using technologies like ZigBee mesh networks.
