[Tinyos-help] BlockStorageC and Deluge

Hi all, I am using BlockStorageC in an application, which was working fine until I add Deluge support. The flash IC is AT45DB041. My volumes in the application fail to mount after Deluge's loadImages() is called. ACL_VOLUME_ID_0 and ACL_VOLUME_ID_1 are defined as unique("StorageManager") The w

You can connect the GIO pin to a transistor to switch the sensors power supply on and off. Or you can connect the ground of the device to the GIO pin, and sink the pin to turn it on. If you put the pin in high impedance mode, the sensor will turn off (this is achieved by making the GIO pin an

Hi, Does anyone know the dBi gain of the PCB antenna on the tmote sky modules?? We have layed out a board with fractus 1dBi gain antennas, and we're not getting close to the range of the tmote antennas. Trying to figure out if this is due to lack of gain, or other design/manufacturing issue

I have had the same problem, and have never found a resolution.  One workaround I have been using is to set a breakpoint that is hit with the User button to break into the debugger.  At least you can set additional breakpoints and continue, however it would be nice to break current execution :)

It seems the only way to resolve this would be to implement FHSS (Frequency Hopping). Is this correct? Cheers, Matt

Re: [Tinyos-help] Rationale for 29 bytes payload

I know with the CC2420 radio, the payload size you select does not affect how many bytes are actually transmitted over RF. I'm not sure about the CC1000 though. I use a payload size of 90, but if I send 4 bytes of payload, only MSG_HEADER_SIZE + MSG_FOOTER_SIZE (FCF) + payload len bytes are trans

oops in pieces. You should avoid the temptation to break the system model (short tasks) even if you can get it to work in a particular case. The reason is that the rest of the system is built on top of that assumption and you risk causing unintended side effects. - Prabal On 2/6/06, Matt Thomps

Hi, unique() only returns a unique value when the strings in parenthesis are identical, therefore you should use the same unique string for each timer. You are trying to wire the timers to the same interface (NetTimer) Try: TOSBaseM.NetTimer-> TimerC.Timer[unique("NetTimer")]; TOSBaseM.DelayTim
