So you're working on the sensor network but you don't know much about debugging networks. Try some of the following commands and post the outputs.

Ping the sensor

If the sensor and host interface have the same network address, and physical connections are valid, the sensor will be ping-able from the host. That's typically a good place to start.

Show configured IP addresses

Use ip address to show ALL IP addresses configured on the interface, ifconfig will only show one.

Packet capture

Use tcpdump or wireshark to capture (specific) packets on (particular) interfaces.
