[Tinyos-help] non-continous usage
Hi, I'm wondering what the pattern is for non-continous usage of the motes (primarily for energy consumption)? I viable pattern woult be to turn on the motes only at some intervals (is there such a feature?) - but then this depends on the motes turning on at the same time always, so that they can form a mesh network. if a mote turns on always so that the other motes are off, it will never be able to communicate with the others, will it? I'm sure there's work already done in this area - any pointers?

I tried to get the LowPowerSensing tutorial app mentioned at the end of this page from CVS, but it doesn't seem to be there :( is this tutorial available somehwere?

Re: [Tinyos-help] non-continous usage
Its definitely there. I just reran the set of commands mentioned at the end of the tutorial: cd $TOSROOT/apps/tutorials cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/tinyos login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/tinyos co -P -d LowPowerSensing tinyos-2.x/apps/tutorials/LowPowerSensing and it checked it out for me.

Re: [Tinyos-help] non-continous usage
Its all part of the tinyos cvs repository, you probably just forgot to do a `cvs update -dP` to guarantee that newly created directories get added and old deleted ones get pruned.

I read through TEP 116, and the sample code. as for the sensor, I didn't really see that I'd have to change anything. the readings were already done parallelly, triggered by a timer. is this assumption correct? is there anything else to do? as for the radio, I added the LPLProvider impelemetation, similar to the LowPowerSensing/Base sample. I added LPL.setLocalSleepInterval() before the AMRadio is started, and LPL.setRxSleepInterval() before things are sent to a Collection object. but I wonder if this is sufficient. the multihop app is using snooping and collection for the communciation. I wonder if this all works out? and actually, I can't really measure the power consumption, so I just don't know if there's any effect... sort of like walking in the dark Akos ___ Tinyos-help mailing list Tinyos-help@Millennium.Berkeley.EDU https://www.millennium.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tinyos-help
