Is this GPS a digital device to MicaZ? (I heard this but did not get one) http://www.xbow.com/Products/productsdetails.aspx?sid=76

Look in the tos/sensorboards directories for some examples and trace them back to the actual controller inputs that are used. Mostly you'll find that the ADC and a few adhoc binary pins have been implemented. Almost nothing for the counter/timer pins, and as far as I can tell, el zippo for attaching stuff by UART. There's a bit of noise on the list about SPI and I2C and I guess some underlying code, but I haven't used it. Over the last year or so I have handheld a number of projects that wanted to connect things (like the CMUcam) via the UART, and when the time came to get the grade many of them had something working, but I never got a chunk of code out of it. One guy must have been successful because he promised me a bottle of scotch as a reward for his getting a degree. But I never got it... Now that I have been a bit annoying, perhaps people will post links to code and doc that I have missed, ignored, or forgotten. I'm often tempted to flesh out the ATMEGA support myself, but then again, why bother... MS Adam wrote: > What about external digital devices to MicaZ? Use UART1? > Any example code in TinyOS 1.x?
