Whoa....very odd. It sounds like it should be working fine.
I have to admit that I never actually used the Oscope Reset message
so I can't actually swear that it is right, but the code looks identical
to that which I use to send messages to my re-Motes.
You have discovered one hidden feature of GenericComm, whereby messages
coming over both the Radio and the UART are routed to the same handler.
When you plugged your OscopeRF mote directly into the programmer that
seems to prove that the Reset message is being sent from the host to MIB.
Given the above, then TOSBase should be passing the message on to the
radio and out to re-Motes. The message is addressed as BCAST
so it should be received and handled by all the re-Motes. Could
you have a group-ID mismatch? That's the only other thing I can
think of...
Oh yeah, you don't say if you are getting data FROM the Oscope Mote...
I assume so, which would mean that the base and re-Mote agree on
radio parameters. Otherwise the bets are off and you should examine
you build settings for TOSBase and the Oscope mote. Also the TOSBase
LEDs should flash when messages are sent, do you see any action there?
Perhaps you should start with the BroadCastInject program as
a paradigm instead? At least it sounds like it is working.
beyond this I would have to lay hands upon the actual hardware
so I don't think I can be of more help...
sorry

Hi ,
back to the oscopereset problem, as I have discussed this problem
before, but it still remains unsolved.
As Micheal suggested before I checked the handerID, there is no mismatch.
Now let me state the problem again, when we issue a reset command using
Oscilloscope java application, it didnt work for the motes running
oscilloscopeRF application, but it worked for non RF oscilloscope
application.
Sender.java is sending the commands to the motes, so I printed the reset
msg that is been sent, everything i.e moteID, address, handlerID and the
msg are correct. But still the motes dont get reset.
So to check I made a samll change in OscilloscopeRF/OscilloscopeM.nc for
toggling green LED when a reset msg is received, I found that the mote
is not receiveing the msg.
Next I directly attached the mote with RF application on the programming
board which is connected to the laptop via serial port, then I ran the
oscilloscope application, well its quite obvious that I wont get any
readings, but if I send a msg the mote should be able to acknowledge it
and this time it did, by toggling the green LED. So for oscilloscope
aplications when the motes are hardwired reset command is working.
Now to make sure radio is working properly I did hardware check, it
worked fine, also I used this application called BraodCastInject, which
send simple commands(Led on and Off) over radio via TOSBase to the motes
which have an application named SimpleCmd running, it worked fine, I was
able to turn on and off the Leds.
Now what I understand is that there is a problem at receiving on the
motes side (when using OscilloscopeRF), radio is working and the TOSBase
apllication too, but somehow OscilloscopeRF application on the motes is
not responding to the reset msg.
so can anyone suggest what could be the problem and how to solve it?
thanx
Manu
