hey ben, yeah, theres a problem with temp and receive working at the same time with the CC2420 stack. I mentioned this in my first mail to gina. refer to the mpr/mib manual from xbow http://www.xbow.com/Support/Support_pdf_files/MPR-MIB_Series_Users_Manual.pd f (page 28). the easiest work around is to use the PhotoTempM.nc in $TOSDIR/platform/micaz/. I have not tested that, but it is supposed to work. You can let me know, if you have any luck with that... yeah, light and temp dont work together... but the PhotoTempM.nc (the one which comes default with tinyos and not the one in platform/micaz/) takes care of that... again, I havent tried that, but I think it should work... you can look at the PhotoTempM.nc code for more details... hope tat helps -raghu On 4/19/06, Ben Weidman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey Raghu, > > My name is Ben Weidman and I'm working on a sensor network project with Gina > Upperman who has recently been in contact with you regarding the temperature > sensors.
