I'll run it at 1 pps, but that how do you know that's low enough to avoid any potential SW problem? > PS.

And yes it isn't certain, but the error rate I'm seeing now (1/50k) is something I see frequently in my application (this is how I discovered the problem). You can never be absolutely certain that packet data is correct but these corrupt packets can cause strange behavior and depending on the application this error rate may be too great. On the other hand, running data collection at very low data rates it might take years to send 50k packets, so in that case I guess it's OK. But in my application this error rate is significant enough to impact performance, so it needs to be addressed. _______________________________________________ Tinyos-help mailing list Tinyos-help@millennium.berkeley.edu https://www.millennium.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tinyos-help
