Adesola,

 

Sorry, I was wrong. It takes much more time for the 32kHz timer to roll over. It’s around 36 hours. Good luck.

Janos,

 

If the 32kH timer rolls over in fourty-something minutes, then it is worthless to synchronize the base station time with the computer’s time as it will roll over in less than an hour. I am just being curious here: I think most computers use crystals of 32KHz to provide real-time clocks. As long as power is supplied to the timers, computers’ clocks don’t roll over in fourty-something minutes. Please, pardon my ignorance and kindly explain what the differences are between a computer’s 32KHz clock and a mote’s 32KHz. If we are able to get date and time from a computer’s clock, I think it should be possible with motes too.

 

Thanks!

 

Adesola
