Check out, from the series of methods, the program follows for transmit mode, where do they actually turn on the radio, i.e. the startVReg command and then start your time from there. Well, for CC2420 radio, the default MAC availabe in Tinyos source tree is B-MAC+, which is a contention based

Hi, Regarding the last email, I believe the radio in the so called hearing mode consumes as much as receiving mode as the radio reception circuitry is ON. The idle mode is when the radio is turned off. That is exactly what Low Power Listening (LPL) BoX-MAC does. I suggest for a detailed energy

You can do online Energy profiling, calculate the on and Off time of the radio and then multiply it with the current consumed in each of that state, and actively log it serially. It a bit difficult to monitor all the modes of MSP430 and CC2420, so I would suggest to monitor CC2420, for its send

Please, will you be so kind to share it? Having the capability to monitor the radio is a good starting point and may be adding this information to the battery model I won't need anything more to do an energy profiling. I'm going to use blip 2. How old is your code? i guess I will have to do a

Dear all, I'm working on deploying a network of 30 telosb sensor nodes. Node works in a duty cycle (sleep and active modes) and is powered by using one pair of batteries (3V). Now I want to measure the energy consumption of each node. I use the VoltageC component to measure the actual voltage of

I'm currently facing the same problem. I've already run some tests and it seems quite difficult to correlate the voltage with the real consumption even having a battery model. Does TinyOS provide any energy profiling mechanism that measures where energy is spent, and how much energy that is
