just forwarding a wayward answer to the subjected question... MS
From: Andrew Redfern <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yes you can connect the mica class motes to a pc without using there programming board. You will need to build your own level converting board though. Here is a link to a few and there are other companies that make these type chips. You'll want to do some searching if the mote is running off 2 AA batteries for a chip that has a voltage supply requirement of 3.3 - 1.8 volts. http://www.maxim-ic.com/quick_view2.cfm/qv_pk/1798 Andrew On 2/16/06, *Michael Schippling* <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: wiring directly using a level converter should work fine, but where to put the converter? an extra board? (actually you might get away with some sleazy direct line power scheme, look online for power from rs232). Also look at the MIB510 schematic.
