Hello Friends,
I need some advice on how to approach learning TinyOS-2.x. I am
working on this since the past 2 months. I have read the tutorials
and wrote some programs like measuring the battery voltage etc and
tested them on Mica2 motes.
But still I feel that what I know is like a drop of water in this
vast sea of sensor network programming. I want to know how should
my approach be towards learning this stuff. There are so many
interfaces defined in tinyos-2.x which make me confused. How should
one know their intended use and functioning. The documentation for
these sensors is not very informative and there are not many source
codes in the contrib directory unlike tinyos-1.x . I began with
tinyos-2.x because I thought I will start with the best and the
newer thing. But my progress is really really slow. The TEPs are
informative but still a newbie like me ( i dont know abt others )
would like to know more.
Can anyone suggest me something to improve myself.
No matter how much documentation you write, there's always a need for
more. :)
Have you read the TinyOS Programming Manual? While TEPs describe what
subsystems do and how to use them, the manual goes into nesC
programming.
There currently is no reference index of all of the systems in T2. To
be honest, the best way to learn is to start poking around, either
with the nesC documentation or just looking at the comments in source
files.
