I was able to connect the sensorboard to the underside of
the programmer (MIB500, I think MIB510 is the same), and
plug the mica in on top. You can also dispense with the
sounder block on the SB and get them sandwiched nicely.
I have never seen one of the "cables" that are mentioned,
would like to get a ref to one if someone knows something...
I assume you used the OscopeRF version when you tried the
remote experiment. If you were getting anything at all it
might be working...what kind of weird readings?

Hi,
I am working on Lesson-6 , to run the oscilloscope program i tried all
the ways but my oscilloscope doesnt read the light readings but keeps on
drawing a graph which is straight line with small amount of
variations...i think i am committing mistake in the 1st page of the
lesson which sasys...:
"Compile and install the Oscilloscope application on a mote. You will
need to connect a sensor board to the mote to get the light readings.
Remember to set the SENSORBOARD option in apps/Oscilloscope/Makefile
to either micasb or basicsb depending on the type of sensor board you
have.
This application requires that the mote with the sensor be
connected to the serial port on the programming board. Note that
the size of the current Mica sensor board prevents you from
plugging the mote and board into the programming board directly.
One workaround is to use a short cable to connect the programming
board to the sensor board connector."
I am unable to understand how do we connect the sensor board to the mote
and plug it to the programming board, the lesson says i need to use a
short cable , which cable is it talking about , what sort of cable is it
and how do i obtain it,I would appretiate it if someone could find me a
solution for this problem and also where can i get a cable?
I loaded oscilloscope pgm on to a mote and mounted it with a sensor board
and TOSBase pgm on to another base and ran the oscilloscope pgm but got
some weired kind of a graph and some totally different readings.
I would wait to hear from someone.
thanks in advance
regards
harish
