That plugin is a bit buggy.
I have just played with it.
i) setup a grid of 100 nodes
ii) set the radio model to to fixed radius 10
ii) set the scalingfactor to 2
At this point all nodes are isolated. For some reason the radius is divided by
the scale factor; radius 10 / factor 2 = new-radius

Thanks Darren,but that doesnt help too.I set up the 50 motes in a grid fashion, the distant of each is by 12.5 units (when u enable the grid lines). Chose a radio model with radius 10.0 but still the either mote can reach any other mote which is way more than
10.0 units.Can u suggest something
Thanks Darren,The real thing I want to do is to limit the radio range to some nodes.I am simulating around 50 nodes and want to form a tree using them. The problem here is that the root (mote 0) broadcast and allocates the even furthest node (consider nodes are placed in a grid fashion)as its
Hey Nilay,
In TinyViz goto the 'Plugins' menu and enable the 'Radio model' plugin.
Select the corresponding control panel (on the right) and choose the
radio range e.g. 'Fixed radius (10.0)'. You can then scale this by
setting the 'Distance scaling factor'; I believe you must use the
