Hello,
I am new to telosb motes. It seems there is no on/off switch on
telosb. Do I have to remove the batteries to turn it off? Or is there
a more convenient way to do that?
When you install TOSBoot, configured when the environment variable
TINYOS_NP is set to BNP, which is the default in modern TinyOS
distributions, you can put the device into a deep sleep mode by
holding the user button while pressing and releasing the reset button.
You can identify that TOSBoot is installed by the LED "count down"
sequence (all lit, then blue dims out, then green dims out, then red
dims out) before the application starts. You can identify that you
mote has gone to deep sleep when after performing the described "sleep
gesture" all LED's dim out simultaneously. Wake it up again by
pressing the reset button or by reprogramming it.
Another similar question is: do I need to remove the batteries when
programming telosb through the USB port?
No, you can leave them in.
Thanks a lot for your attention and replies. Installing and removing
batteries for the motes tens of times a day is really a pain :-(
No problem,
Cory
