Hi,
I'am using Tmote Sky sensors and I need some help about LQI
measurments.
To calculate LQI values I use Delta application with the trawler
tool. I' have some remarks.
with a maximum of power transmission (0dbm) and distance of 3
meters, I found stronge values. However, in the literature we speak
about a value between 50 and 110
then I' have these questions:
1)- why values upper than 110 and lower then 50 even under perfect
conditions.
2)- Why values are very large (few thousands)? However in the
standard 802.15.4 it is mentioned that the LQI value is an integer
between 0 and 255 (on 8bits)
3)- Since the LQI is calculated when a packet is received, how about
the packet when the value is higher than 110 or especially 255. (is
it droped, is a bad packet, is it normal to calculate to calculate a
very high value (thousands))?
4)- is there an other mean to calculate LQI values without using
Trawler? is a manner to debug this directly in a console?
5)- Are the values on the Trawler tool the true calculated values
of LQI?.
thanks for your help in advance.
Denzel
The values Delta is reporting are probably not raw LQI readings from
the radio, rather those values put through MultihopLQI's link quality
function:
uint16_t adjustLQI(uint8_t val) {
uint16_t result = (80 - (val - 50));
result = (((result * result) 3) * result) 3;
return result;
}
Phil
In moteiv/tos/lib/MultiHopLQI/MultiHopLQIM.nc, I found this function :
uint16_t correlation(uint8_t v) {
uint16_t c = (80 - (v - 40));
c = (((c * c) 3) * c) 3;
return c;
}
someone knows why the difference between the two functions AdjustLQI and
correlation?
. (v-50));
vs.

I've just skimmed the manuals, and it appears that it is possible to come up with a single piece of code that works on both revisions, so we wouldn't need to branch based on the chip ID. The problem is that with the older version it was possible to check if the chip is ready by toggling the clock and checking a pin. This feature was removed from the at45db041d from revision G (after February, 2007). I think that checking for ready can be done by reading the status register on all at45db versions.

Re: [Tinyos-help] 802.15.4 TinyOS Qs
Length = length of the header + payload of the packet, minus the size of the
length byte itself (1). This is what allows for variable length packets.
DSN = Data Sequence Number, a number incremented for each packet sent by a
particular node. This is used in acknowledging that packet, and also
filtering out duplicate packets.
Type = TinyOS AM type. When you create a new AMSenderC(AM_WHATEVER), the
AM_WHATEVER definition is the type of packet.
TOSH_DATA_LENGTH defaults to 28, it represents the maximum size of the
payload portion of the packet, and is specified in the tos/types/message.h
file.
All of these fields will be filled in automatically by the radio stack when
you attempt to send a message.

Re: [Tinyos-help] TinyOS Help
By default, very simple ones (although there are extensions for threading or adding priorities and the like). Very grossly speaking, TinyOS is a loop that executes tasks, posted on a queue, that can only be interrupted only be interrupts (such as hardware timers). If there are no tasks, TinyOS can sleep until it receives an interrupt, in which case it needs to potentially process the task queue again. Mapping? What mapping? Take one down, pass it around, 99 tasks of code on the wall... (T2 operates differently than T1 and uses per-task buckets, but the same principles apply). You can see all the details (albeit it takes a bit of sifting) simply by viewing the generated app.c source file.

In the main tinyos 2.1 tree: ./tos/chips/msp430/adc12/Msp430Adc12ImplP.nc:66:#warning Accessing TimerA for ADC12 The intent is to warn you that TimerA is being used by the Adc12 module mentioned. It is just giving you a heads up in case you want to use TimerA for something else too. Do you know what hardware bits you are using on your project? eric 2008/9/5 Antonio [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi All, Compiling my application, I have a strange warning: /opt/tinyos-2.x/tos/chips/msp430/adc12/Msp430Adc12ImplP.nc:66:2: warning: #warning Accessing TimerA for ADC12 This is the only warning/error I have. Have you any suggestions? I'm using TinyOS 2.1, and with the previous version I hadn't this warning.

Re: [Tinyos-help] 802.15.4 TinyOS Qs
A suggestion:
Can someone with write access to the tree add some comments to this effect
to the source code?

Length = length of the header + payload of the packet, minus the size of
the length byte itself (1). This is what allows for variable length
packets.
DSN = Data Sequence Number, a number incremented for each packet sent by a
particular node. This is used in acknowledging that packet, and also
filtering out duplicate packets.
Type = TinyOS AM type. When you create a new AMSenderC(AM_WHATEVER), the
AM_WHATEVER definition is the type of packet.
TOSH_DATA_LENGTH defaults to 28, it represents the maximum size of the
payload portion of the packet, and is specified in the tos/types/message.h
file.
All of these fields will be filled in automatically by the radio stack when
you attempt to send a message.

*Subject:* [Tinyos-help] 802.15.4 TinyOS Qs
Hello. On lines 45 through 59 of …/tinyos-2.x/tos/chips/cc2420/CC2420.h
the CC2420 header is specified:
typedef nx_struct cc2420_header_t {
nxle_uint8_t length;
nxle_uint16_t fcf; // Frame Control (Field)
nxle_uint8_t dsn;
nxle_uint16_t destpan; // Destination PAN ID
nxle_uint16_t dest; // Destination address
nxle_uint16_t src; // Source address
/** I-Frame 6LowPAN interoperability byte */
#ifdef CC2420_IFRAME_TYPE
nxle_uint8_t network; // I-frame (interoperability frame) byte
#endif
nxle_uint8_t type; // Packet type
} cc2420_header_t;
Can someone please clarify for me what the length and dsn fields are? Is
dsn Device Sequence Number? How is length used?
Can the type field be anything? For example, if I wanted to add additional
RF commands to the stack, could I make my own definitions using this type
field to specify each, or is it a static field?
Where is the maximum payload size specified? Is it TOSH_DATA_LENGTH (line
96 of CC2420.h)?
Thanks,
-Jim

Re: [Tinyos-help] Installing a nesC compiler
These instructions are out of date. Please follow instructions from the official TinyOS documentation wiki. http://docs.tinyos.net/index.php/Main_Page Kevin On Fri, Sep 5, 2008 at 11:58 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just installed Kubuntu (the newest version) on my laptop, and now I'm trying to install a nesC compiler onto it. I've used Linux before, but I wouldn't say I'm proficient at it. First, I tried searching in the Adept Package Manager for anything to do with tinyos or nesc, but there wasn't anything. I found the website 5secondfuse.com and followed the instructions there to install TinyOS: added a lot of repositories to /etc/apt/sources.list, then typed sudo apt-get install cvs subversion autoconf automake1.9 python-dev sudo apt-get install g++ g++-3.4 gperf swig sun-java5-jdk graphviz alien fakeroot These all worked. Then, the next line, sudo apt-get install tinyos-msp430 tinyos-avr told me that package tinyos-msp430 couldn't be found. I tried the line without tinyos-msp430, and it said tinyos-avr couldn't be found either. I remembered seeing an e-mail to the list regarding a similar problem, so I found the e-mail and did what it said. I can't seem to find the e-mail right now, but it included adding one line to sources.list which was similar to deb http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu feisty main and then trying to install a package like libc-tinyos-msp430. This package couldn't be found either. Finally, I tried to download the source code for a nesC compiler off of sourceforge.com. The instructions in the INSTALL file said to type ./configure make and then some more stuff, but my computer refused to make, saying something like Error: C compiler cannot create executables. If anyone could help me get around any of these problems, it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Tinyos-help] CTP TEP 123
Thanks for the clarification professor! Nahr Elk 2008/9/5, Philip Levis [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On Sep 5, 2008, at 3:12 AM, Nahr ... wrote: Hi! As it is mentionned in tep 123 CTP is designed for relatively low traffic rates? First question: data rate isn't it? Data says something about the contents of packets. E.g., one could imagine sending CTP packets with no payload as heartbeats. What's the data rate then? Second why ? which are the restrictions that cause that ? It doesn't have congestion control.
