>> We took indoor measurements of the strength value too.  The value
that we got back was a uint16_t value. And it showed a steadily
increasing trend - which makes sense after reading this
>> email.

Using CC2420 the strength value is a uint8_t value, according to AM
standard, that can be found in /tos/platforms/micaz, for example.
Using a CC1000 the algorithm is different. At the following link you
can find information about how to do that (remember to set the output
power value to the level you want, and that for CC1000 the frequencies
are not around 2.4GHz but 915MHz  and 433MHz )

>>However, the uint8_t part is a bit of a concern. Our measurements
stared at a value of 60 and ended at a value of 324 (distances from 0"
to about 100"). We applied the same transform >>that you suggested
below (ours is a CC1000 radio so the offset's 41? :shrug: ).

after looking at the link suggested below you would be able to convert
correctly the RSSI into dBm value.


>> We did get a progressively decreasing trend.

examples of RSSI-distance measured by myself are in the attatchment,
and you can find similar results in litarature.

wish to be helpful
