[Tinyos-help] Communicating with motes with Serial Port
Hi all, Is there a way of communicating with the motes directly with the serial port without using the programmer board? All I need to do is communication and not programming.

Re: [Tinyos-help] Communicating with motes with Serial Port
all things are possible...haw. Assuming you can attach wires to the Rx, Tx, and Gnd contacts on the mote you should be able to connect them to some other logic level serial device -- remember to cross them over Rx to Tx. That said, _real_ RS232 works at +/-3v but the logic levels from the motes are more on the order of 0 and +3v, so you need a level converter if you want to plug straight into a PC or something. I recently found some simple ones by Googling serial level converter I think. The programmer board has a single chip MAXsomething-or-other that does the job.

MAX232 / HIN232 are the RS232 line driver ICs. They are fairly easy to set up. Have a look at their data sheets. Simon Michael Schippling wrote: all things are possible...haw.
