Are only certain message formats acceptable for transfer over BaseStation-enabled motes?
I'm using BaseStation and TinyOS 2.x, and sending raw packets over serial by hand. At first I thought I could use any message type I wanted. That is, I thought I could randomly assign bytes for the dispatch id and payload parts of the serial protocol, and it would get passed on, so long as I got the basic serial protocol right (the framing bytes, the crc, etc.). However, I found that such arbitrary packets, while acknowledged, did not make it to the other side. (I also found an interesting case in which the missing pieces of an incomplete active message were filled in.) I'm trying to employ the motes as an artificial wireless network of sorts. So, what message types may I and should I use? I want to know what is possible as well as what is advisable. It would also be nice to have some kind of reference I could cite on the issue. Does AM Multihop still exist in 2.x versions? Sincerely, Jon. P.S.: Did that python problem ever get resolved? I'm afraid I got rather distracted. _______________________________________________ Tinyos-help mailing list [email protected] https://mail.millennium.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tinyos-help
