Dear Radio Stack Experts (using moteiv distro, GenericComm interface):
I've got a program that enters a curious behavior. Initially, for a few
minutes, it sends and receives messages. Sending is driven by Timer
events. Then it stops receiving messages, though it continues to send
messages (the sending is done out of a posted task). I watch the
messages via sf/TOSBase.
Why do I think it stops receiving messages? The first thing in the
ReceiveMsg event is a call to Leds.greenToggle(). During the first
few minutes, this blinks as one would expect, but then stops blinking
(other behavior such as the sent message contents confirms the
hypothesis that the mote is not receiving, though messages are in
the air to be received).
Because messages continue to be sent, I reckon the task queue
can't be such that Led blinking would be inhibited (I welcome being
corrected on this point, since I'm a T2 newbie). In fact, I added
a Leds.redToggle() to the sending task, and I do see the red
blink once a minute, as expected, even as the receiving is deaf.
What would be the efficient way to diagnose this kind of situation?
Thanks,
Ted.
ps. If the answer is "use SP instead" then please consider that
I need to support Mica2 and MicaZ and I'd like to keep a common
codebase.
