[Tinyos-help] cutdown power consumption
Hi all, I am developing a small application. The mote does not take any action until it recevies a command message. Thus the mote radio should be in a Listening state. To cutdown the power consumption, I have - called HPLPowerManagementM.Enable(); - turned all Leds off, or used NoLeds component - disable JTAG and INCHIPDEBUG - called CC1000RadioM.SetListeningMode(6), the lowest power duty cycle and bandwidth Now, I can get almost 2.6mA current. I want to know, is it possible to get lower power in my case, in which the mote should listen to the wireless channel to wait a command message ? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Re: [Tinyos-help] Error loading data to telosb mote
That problem with mass erase command it's not important for me, cause I will update all that information on each mote install. My problem consists in that I'm not able to program that part, and as far as I now it's possible to do it with normal telosb install. when I do $make telosb install bsl, COM5 it should program this area, am I wrong? because if then I test that infomem area with the command $msp430-bsl --telosb --password=main.exe --upload=4096 --size=256 -c COM5 all I get is 1000 ff ff ff ff ff ff ... which makes me think that I couldn't store the infomem data. If anyone has an idea of where could be the problem. I tried to donwload from tinyos the msp430 but I couldn't manage to solve that. Pere The thing to remember about using the infomem area on the MSP430 is that the msp430-bsl only has the mass erase command. The msp430-bsl WILL erase the entire flash including the main program memory and the info memory. You can use a JTAG adapter as an alternative since the msp430-jtag inplements the --mainerase option to only erase the main flash memory. By looking at the python script used for msp430-bsl the hooks are in place for the other erase options but they have not been implemented yet.

you didn't put the for loop in an atomic{} block did you?
That would shut off interrupts...

Re: [Tinyos-help] Problem with Implementing GUI for Listen Programme
alright then. Your CLASSPATH does contain both . and tools/java so that should be ok. I think you are having package naming problems, but I don't get how Circle (wrong name: net/tinyos/oscope/Circle) comes up with oscope... Coulda fooled me that you can embed the applet tag in the .java... Like I said I think I used appletviewer once. The code you sent says package net.tinyos.tools;, and the file, Circle.java is in the net/tinyos/tools directory? Then you probably have to run it using: appletviewer net/tinyos/tools/Circle.java or perhaps the net.tinyos version. I have no idea how the viewer deals with the finding the source file of interest. The other approach would be to move Circle.java to tools/java and remove the package line. If I have energy and time later today I'll might actually try it.

[Tinyos-help] Yet Another Signal Strength Question [over micaz]
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 connected to the serial port. When I use the java tool ListenRaw, I get things like the following: 7E 42 FF FF 04 7D 5D 04 22 00 01 00 EA 1E 7E 42 FF FF 04 7D 5D 04 23 00 01 00 5E 68 7E 42 FF FF 04 7D 5D 04 24 00 01 00 73 39 So from what I've gathered from micaz/AM.h: uint8_t length =-| uint8_t fcfhi =| Not sure about these top four. uint8_t fcflo = 7E | uint8_t dsn = 24 _| uint16_t destpan = FF FF uint16_t addr = 04 7D uint8_t type = 5D uint8_t group = 04 int8_t data = 22 uint8_t strength = 00-- ?? I know the 22, 23, 24 is the data portion, so ListenRaw or the serial port must be cutting something off from the beginning. It appears as though the strength is registered as 0 though.

[Tinyos-help] about Surge_Reliable in XBow apps to be run on TinyOS v1.1.15
Hi, I have been trying out Surge_Reliable in XBow apps (http://www.xbow.com/Support/Support_pdf_files/Crossbow.tgz) in TinyOS v1.1.7. It compiles and works fine. However, when i upgraded TinyOS to v1.1.15, i found that the codes of Surge_Reliable would send the same identical packets many times to the node ID 0 which is observed in xListener application. I suspect there is something changed in modules like QueuedSend, GenericCommPromiscuous, Bcast or EWMAMultiHopRouter that causes this problem. But I found nothing mentioned in http://www.tinyos.net/tinyos-1.x/doc/changes-minor-releases.html#1.1.11. Does anybody face this problem before?

Re: [Tinyos-help] Receiving messages during execution on Tmote Sky
Tasks execute first-come first-serve, and each task executes to completion before the next task can begin. Execute to completion means that your task routine must return / exit. Long running and non-terminating tasks block all other tasks from executing. Receive.receive is signaled from within task context -- which you can note from the absence of an async keyword for that event. That means that a task is posted within the radio stack that eventually signals receive. If you have a long running task in your application, it is blocking the receive task from executing.

Re: [Tinyos-help] Micaz UART message length problem
Out of curiousity, this is related to a problem I had today... are these rewritten packets changed as far as received signal strength goes? As I said in a previous email, the micaz AM.h file declares TOS_Msg-strength as uint8_t and regular AM.h is uint16_t. Now my micaz messages being forwarded over the serial port are almost certainly in mica2 format, I'm not sure what to trust as far as strength goes.

Probably you need to (re)view some C programming fundamentals, the makes pointer from integer thing sounds like you are trying to pass a value where an address is required. If that doesn't make any sense, then you DO need to read a C book. Try the old famous Kernigan and Ritchie... Otherwise, without seeing the code, it's not easy to correct it.

hello everybody !! I wanted to know how to use two UARTs simultaneously. I'm currently working in a project ' DATA TRANSMISSION RECEPTION VIA GPRS IN TINYOS ENVIRONMENT ' . Platform used is MSP430F1611. One UART is to be used for thereception of GPS packets . The other one should be used for sending initialization commands( GSM, GPRS) the responses should be available in that UART itself . I've already implemented the reception of GPS packets inthrough one UART which was UART0 .For that i used the usual method of '...HPLUART.get(data)'.but now i want to use the other one alsofor the initialization process . I tried using a second '...HPLUART.get(data)'. But it is showing error. Also tried using IFG flag register , which too didn't help ! !

[Tinyos-help] CC2420 RAM on telosb
Hi, I am working on CC2420 encryption on a tmote sky, and I am having issues writing to the chipcon RAM. To test the RAM, I have added wrappers in the CC2420Control interface that call HPLChipconRAM.write/read. I have included CC2420RadioC in an application, and wired an interface called RadioControl to CC2420RadioC.CC2420Control. I have a repeat timer that calls RadioControl.writeRAM to fill 16 bytes of the RAM with a variable that is incremented by one. After writing to the RAM, RadioControl.readRAM is called, the result is put into a TOS_Msg, and sent via radio to a TOSBase using GenericComm. The first write to RAM does not appear to work at all, from a cold start, random bytes are returned, from a warm start, the previous RAM values remain (expected). The second write to RAM usually takes effect (all bytes 0x01), however further iterations do not always work. It randomly returns the previous buffer, and sometimes will return with 8 bytes of one number, and 8 of another. It almost seems that the CSN signal is being raised, causing the SPI tx to finish prematurely, however it appears BusArbitration should eliminate that. Any ideas??
