Re: [Tinyos-help] How to know if the mote's radio module telosb work?

2010-11-06 Thread Urs Hunkeler
Hi,

 From your error description it seems that the microcontroller works, 
but there might be a potential problem with the radio. I have so far not 
heard of the radio failing, and it also looks suspicious that two motes 
would have exactly the same error. One problem that I encountered 
personally is that sometimes the Moteiv Tmote Skys seem to have 
difficulties communicating when they are too close together (maybe the 
receiver gets saturated?). If this is the case, I found that lowering 
the transmission power helps. You can try this by adding the following 
line to the Makefile and recompiling the application:

CFLAGS += -DCC2420_DEF_RFPOWER=16

To ensure that the program is really recompiled, I recommend the 
following command sequence:

make clean  make tmote


If this does not help, you could try to modify the applications and see 
whether the send routines give you any error messages, either in the 
return value from the send method or as parameter to the SendDone 
callback (also check whether SendDone gets called at all).

Cheers,
Urs

 Hi all,

 This is my first post, although I read the mailing-list several monts ago.
 I have three telosb motes: two says 'moteiv tmote sky' and other one
 say 'Sentilla tmote sky'.

 I installed and tested the Oscilloscope application in the three
 motes. The green LED should blink when send reading, but only Sentilla
 tmote sky work.

 Do you think is the radio that no longer works in the others two motes.
 Blink, TestSerial run on the three motes, but applications involving
 the use of radio do not work on the two moteiv motes, however on
 Sentilla mote work fine.

 Is there any tos-bsl command to know if the radio works? I do not want
 to buy another mote!

 Thanks,, I wait your help.
