This comes up periodically. Try searching back on the help list. One of these days someone will post a demo app...but not yet. First, physically connecting to the board...I have my own layout for a sensor board, but I'm not aware of any commercial products. You can just solder to the right pads on the connector and goop everything together, but it's an ugly process/result. Can anyone else comment? Second, if your sensors have 9pin connectors they are probably _real_ RS232 which uses +/- 3v signals, whereas the mica board's serial lines are 0/+3v logic levels. You will need a level converter for reliable connection. The MIBs have such a beast. Third, programming on the TOS side involves using the UARTM module. Start from TOSBase is a partial solution but you will probably run down a number of rat-holes until you get the right combination of modules. Using GenericComm to get to the radio, as any "normal" person would think to do is no good because it takes over the UART as well.

Has anyone done any programming to enable the communication between motes and non-Xbow sensors? Thanks. - Liangping __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?Tired of spam?
