[Tinyos-help] CC2420 Tutorial

2007-05-13 Thread David Henry
I've been trying to nail down a tutorial on programming the CC2420 but without luck. I don't want to just learn the stack as implemented in TinyOS because it hides the very information I'm looking for. Neither do I want to spend hours reverse engineering the stack source. Any links gratefully

[Tinyos-help] Print messages with parameters information

2007-05-13 Thread Eulalia i Anna
Hi! We are working with MIB510 and mica2 motes. We need to know, when the motes are comunicating with the base, how can we print the transmition paramenters info. We've realised that dbg only works in a TOSSIM app, and we can't show in the screen these parameters...can you help us? Thanks! --

What information are you looking for exactly? We have the draft version of TEP126 which intends to describe the workings of the CC2420 and how the stack is implemented in 2.x, along with comments and recommendations about how to add/remove/change functionality. This document is located at:

[Tinyos-help] BlockWrite.erase()

2007-05-13 Thread Leijun Huang
Hello, I have a problem in using BlockWrite.erase() in TinyOS-1.x on my TelosB motes. I have a volume containing multiple sectors. Each time I call BlockWrite.erase(), it seems only the first sector of the volume is erased. Data on the other sectors remain uncleaned. Is this a bug in

Hi Hugo, Your guess is right. I read one axis, then wait readDone() to start another axis. Your explanation let me understand what caused this problem. However, I still cannot understand how to use accelStream. I list my old methods as follows. Please help find how to solve the problem. I

Thank you Phil, I wonder what is exactly the operations make the reception to be very power hungry. It is just the demodulator?, I thought it is the same circuitry for modulation and demodulations, as also the frequency synthesizer. Additionally TX usually consumes more due to the need of

Hi Fangming, You don't have to wait for a readDone() to read the other, you can call both Reads because accelconfigp has an arbiter that prevents simultaneous access. It is also better that you call them both because that way the sensor is not turned off between the two readings, doubling your

Hi, Is it possible to Line Power the motes(CrossBow Micaz motes) with the help of adapters?Is it possible to configure them in such a way that when there is power available on the line,the motes can draw power from them and when there is no power available,the motes draw power from the
