Hi I have acquired the MoteWorks SDK and installed the patch as given on the web page. I'm now running into a problem with actually getting the data.
I have a MIB520 programming board, a micaZ board and the MTS420CC GPS mote (with the ublox chip). I installed TestMTS420cc application (apps/xsensor/XSensorMTS420CC/) on one mote, and attached the GPS board to it. I then installed XSniffer on another mote, which stayed hooked up to the computer. I run MoteView with the database mts420_results, but I don't see any sensor information showing up in the table. Also, when I tried sniffing the data with XSniffer and xlisten, I get a stream of data with no fixed size (that xlisten is unable to parse). I would really appreciate any help with this as I'm completely stuck. Thank you!
