Yes, it's because you are using a multimeter. With a 1 ohm resistor, you will be reading about .02 volts difference. You should read the voltage across the resistor, not measure on both sides and take the difference. Most multimeters do some autoscaling. You may have more success using the am

0x3FF is the maximum value you can get from the 10 bit ADC. So either you have _way_ overheated your board, in one way or another, or you are not reading it correctly. Put the board in the freezer or try a different ADC channel to see what you get. MS Varun Jain wrote: > Hi, > > I am currently t

Yes, in fact, this is what I'm implementing on the CC1100 and CC2500 radio stacks. The trick is getting the transmit branch of the radio stack to hold off for awhile if a packet was recently received. This allows one node to completely dominate the channel while it sends back-to-back packets with

All the current has to go through the resistor, it sounds like you have it in the right place. I was addressing this statement: "The readings are 1.5V which is the battery voltage." The voltage across the resistor should be very small, or you have a problem with your resistor. Eric On Fri, May 30

Have you disconnected the mote from the battery? The correct arrangement is as follows: Let the battery (power supply) terminals be "A" and "B" resistor terminals be "C" and "D" mote terminals be "E" and "F". Usually the battery and the mote would be connected: i.e., "A" is connected to "E" and "

I can confirm this. My CC1000-based motes work fine with the 2.0.2 release but crash with the latest cvs. I run a modified BlinkToRadio to test, with one node only transmitting and the other node only receiving. The transmitting node works ok. The receiving node seems to crash. As a test, I turn on

No. It does not work the same (although it uses similar concepts). For example, there is no TinyViz and the primary interface is Python scripting (in TOS 1.x Jython was an add-on). Start with the TOSSIM T2 overview: http://docs.tinyos.net/index.php/TOSSIM __
