Re: [Tinyos-help] Yet Another Signal Strength Question [over micaz]

I should rephrase my question, after thinking about it more. While the micaz packets are being forwarded over the serial port, they're being rewritten into the old mica2 format. The mica2 TOS_Msg-strength member is declared as uint16_t while the same micaz member is declared as an eight bit

I tried an interesting thing today, suggested to me by one of my professors: Copy the TOS_Msg-strength to the data section before TOSBase actually sends it over the UART. I did this: pBuf-data[2]=pBuf-strength; pBuf-data[1]=0x99; And then from there, examine the raw packet. The values that

Sure sure, copy rssi into the message someplace, assuming you have reserved a place for it in your msg struct. This makes TOSBase rather project dependent... I'd have to read through the CC doc, code, and schematic to see what exactly is being done with the strength value. I do see from my own

Hi everyone, I dug through the mailing list archives looking for some info on the received signal strength of incoming packets. I have one mote that transmits messages of type IntMsg over the radio. The other mote has TOSBase installed on it and is on the programming board, which is then
