FWIW using mica2,z all I need to do to direct a message from the pc
side to a specific mote is to set the TOS_Msg.addr field to the moteID.
With the mica's at least, TOSBase just passes this message directly
to the air and the receivers filter out what's not addressed to them.
One little caviet however, the standard TOSBase translates message
structs between mica2 (types/AM.h) and micaz (platforms/micaz/AM.h)
formats and thus may-or-may-not fill in destpan.

Using the send() interface should set the destination addrs correctly
on whichever platform format. Both destpan and addr are defined as
uint16's which will be two bytes long, and in a byte array the low byte
will come first. What you show is 4 bytes and bigendian so you may be
looking at the wrong fields. Aside from 7E sync bytes the destpan
should be bytes 5 & 6 in the message stream.

Sorry, perhaps I didn't explain myself correctly.

The nodes that are sending the packets are not running TOSBase, but with a node running TOSBase I can see that the address field of the packet (PAN+address) is 0xFFFF 0x0001 (when I try to send a packet to node 1). I don't know if the field order is PAN + address o viceversa, so perhaps the destination address is correct and the PAN address is 0xFFFF. Anyway, ReceiveMsg.receive() is signaled on every node, not only in node 1. However, I think that ReceiveMsg.receive() should filter all the packets and deliver to the user of the interface only those packet directed either to all (bradcast) or to the node itself, so I think that I might be doing somthing wrong.

Any ideas?

    TosBase only sends broadcast packets. So, the easiest way of unicast
    is to embed your destination address into the data payload and make
    your app sw extract it, compare to TOS_LOCAL_ADDRESS and act
    accordingly (drop or interpret).

    Hi.

    I'm trying to send a packet throught SendMsg to a specific node.
    Scanning the sent packets with TOSBase I can see that the first
    argument passed to SendMsg.send() is set as the PAN address, and the
    field TOS_Msg.addr has no effect either on the PAN address or the
    destination address. Thus, I cannot change the destination address
    and the event ReceiveMsg.receive is signaled in all the nodes.
    How can I send a packet that signals this event only in the
    destination node?

    Thanks in advance
