TOS_LOCAL_ADDRESS is set during the install download when
you specify make micaX install.N where N is the TLA...
There's some secret int of ROM someplace that gets twiddled
before the download starts.
Per your other message about making micaZ code, you may be
better off doing all your work from the contrib/xbow tree.
I know it works better with mica2, and should be at least
as good for micaz. You can copy (most?) demo apps to that
tree and fiddle with their makefiles to get them to work.
I don't know what the effect of using MakeXbowlocal from
within the regular apps tree might be...

Thank you very much! By looking at the CntToLedsAndRfm program, I
believe I can use TOS_LOCAL_ADDRESS. I think I will do something
similar to IntMsg.h:
typedef struct IntMsg {
uint16_t val;
uint16_t src;
} IntMsg;
and set it similarly to IntToRfmM.nc:
message->src = TOS_LOCAL_ADDRESS;
Unfortunately, I'm not sure where TOS_LOCAL_ADDRESS is defined - I'm
looking for it right now. This does work for the CntToLedsAndRfm
program (using TOSBase, I can see the contents of the messages received,
and it does have the correct NodeID), so perhaps I can just use similar
code and it will work. I'd rather understand why it is working though.
Thanks,
Elizabeth

Subject: Re: [Tinyos-help] not- Help with RSSI value
When you get a message in some mote receive function, the message
structure is a TOS_Msg. For micaz's this is defined in
tos/platform/micaz/AM.h
The so-called rssi reading is tacked on to the end of the message
in the 'strength' field.
To make matters more confusing, mica2's and the "normal" host-PC
side code use a TOS_Msg defined in tos/types/AM.h (this struct is
transformed to/from the micaz version in TOSBase UART Framer code).
And to stay even more confused, the strength field is NOT supported
in the TM on the PC side, only within the motes themselves...
That was more information than you need, especially since the source
NodeID is NOT in the TOS_Msg struct...should you be interested in
your message's source you need to include a field for it in the payload
(TM.data). The Oscilloscope demo app does this in OscopeMsg.h

Hi,
I'm sorry, but I do not know enough about these motes to help you
with your problem. In spite of that, I was hoping you could help
me. I am trying to extract the NodeID from the messages I am sending
(2 motes communicating), and I'm not sure what interface/library it
is that I am supposed to be using. I noticed that you are extracting
LQI and RSSI values (I assume using some sort of pointer structure) -
how are you doing that? Which components have you used in order to
be able to do that? Again, I am sorry I cannot help you figure out
what is wrong with the RSSI values, but I hope you can help me.
Thanks,
Elizabeth

Hi all,
I'm using MicaZ platform and I'm trying to get LQI and RSSI values.
I get correctly LQI values (Msg->lqi), but when trying to get RSSI
(power level received) value by Msg->strength I obtain values around
250 at -10 dBm with the 2 motes very near. If I have to substract
the offset of -45 to get the final value on dBm, 250 - 45 it's not a
good value for RSSI...
Coud anyone give me a hand? Thanks in advance,
S.
