Re: [Tinyos-help] hardware platform choice
Incidentally I would ideally want to be able to buy/build single devices that can provide both input (sensing) & output (actuation) rather than the situation I had in my dissertation of the Tmote Invents providing input & completely separately from them the Phidget relays providing output.

[Tinyos-help] hardware platform choice
I have recently completed an undergraduate dissertation that used Tmote Invent nodes & a Phidget controller with relay boards to create a cross-reality system using a real world location & a simulation of that location in OpenSim (Second Life). I am continuing the research as a postgraduate & have the opportunity to buy some new equipment. I still have access to the Tmote Invent nodes but I found them difficult to work with because of the lack of official 2.1 support. If I were to buy new nodes, what would this mailing list's recommendation be? I will probably want to buy ~5 nodes to begin with & could probably spend £300-£500 on them. Later I will probably want to expand the experiment by buying more nodes. I don't really know where to start looking for information about the available platforms, as the wiki doesn't really have a comparison of the available platforms (that I could find anyway).

Re: [Tinyos-help] tmote sky reference sheet?
My bad - just discovered they are actually tmote invent, despite the
only branding anywhere outside or inside the device saying tmote sky!

[Tinyos-help] tmote sky reference sheet?
Is there any reference documentation for the tmote sky from moteiv, in
particular which actually lists how each sensor/LED is accessed? The
models I have here have a daughter board that sits on top of the main
board & has 3 LEDs on it which line up with 3 holes in the plastic
casing - however if I use LedsC & Leds.led{0-2}toggle() this activates
the LEDs on the main board, not the daughter board - this is a bit
annoying because the LEDs on the main board are obscured by the casing
so can only be seen when it is dismantled!

[Tinyos-help] xubuntos + boomerang
Does anybody have any advice on how to use Xubuntos with Moteiv's (Sentilla's) Boomerang distribution? I've downloaded Boomerang from here; http://tinyos.cvs.sourceforge.net/tinyos/tinyos-1.x/contrib/boomerang/ and I've put it at /opt/tinyos-1.x/contrib/boomerang however when I try to run "make tmote" on the Boomerang version of Oscilloscope at; /opt/tinyos-1.x/contrib/boomerang/apps/Oscilloscope I get; ERROR, "tmote ident_flags tos_image bnp" does not specify a valid target. Stop. This is after I've run "tos1" to set up for TinyOS 1.x Can anybody shed some light on this matter?

[Tinyos-help] tmote sky hamamatsuC missing?
I am trying to change the SenseC application to access the temperature sensor on a Tmote Sky node, which I think should be as simple as starting by changing new DemoSensorC() as Sensor to new HamamatsuC() as Sensor in SenseAppC.nc however I can't find HamamatsuC anywhere in my tinyos source tree. I'm using the VMWare image from the TinyOS website so I presumed everything would already be there, but it doesn't seem to have the neccessary stuff from moteiv. Can anybody shed some light on this, it's driving me crazy blundering through the directories hoping to come across what I need!

[Tinyos-help] Blink app, main.ihex No such file
I'm using the Xubuntos VMWare image with a telosb mote attached via USB & connected through into the VM, with the correct ownership/permissions/etc. yet when I try to compile even the simplest program I get the following error; xubun...@xubuntos-tinyos:~/Blink$ make telosb reinstall bsl,/dev/ttyUSB0 cp build/telosb/main.ihex build/telosb/main.ihex.out cp: cannot stat `build/telosb/main.ihex': No such file or directory make: *** [setid] Error 1 Can anybody shed any light on this? Google gives me nothing except that it might be a Cygwin problem, but my setup has nothing to do with Cygwin!
