[Tinyos-help] I want to read voltage value from Tmote

2006-08-28 Thread Yang Peng
I am working on Tmote, and I am using the Tinyos 1.11 installed by the wizard downed from tinyos.net .
I justrelpaced the Demosensor component by component InternalVoltageC in Oscilloscope.nc, and changed some connection names in 
Oscilloscope.nc and OscilloscopeM.nc .(Those two components in OscilloscopeRF)

I used TOSbase to receive the signal from the other node.
The value I got is between 3909~3919, but I think it's not right.

Anybody have done the similar work before? What is the right reading voltage value of Tmote? If I am not correct, could you tell me how to get the right value?

Thank you for your time!

The value looks right to me.  Msp430InternalVoltageC's read returns a 16-bit 
int that holds the 12-bit ADC value as a result of sampling 1/2 of the 
Tmote's VCC.  So:

3909/4096 * 1.5 = 1.43V
So VCC = 2*1.43 or 2.86V
