Structural Health Monitoring-the collection and analysis of structural response to ambient or forced excitation is an important application of network embedded sensing with significant commercial potential. The first generation of sensor networks for structural monitoring are likely to be data acquisition systems that collect the data at single node for centralized processing. In this report, we discuss the design and evaluation of ZigBee based wireless sensor network system for structural data acquisition and natural frequencies detection with low power management and secure data transmission. Texas Instrument CC2538 Development kit with Arm Cortex-M3 core, CC2538 RF trans-receiver (IEEE 802.15.4 standard) and z-stack software (ZigBee standard) has been used to implement the generic ZigBee based wireless sensor network node. While designing Edge nodes, I have been concentrating upon selection of ADC with proper sampling frequency, resolution and baud rate selection for UART serial communication modules in WSN node. It has been needed to adjust proper time synchronization between the nodes and packet size of the node
