The topology specified with the -rf switch is the "radio topology". In order to layout the motes in tinyviz in particular positions, you would have to specify a layout file. This file contains tuples of the form "moteid xcoordinate ycoordinate" with the top left corner being (0, 0).
I think this should have been included in the documentation for TinyViz. On 4/21/07, preeti k <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello, I have been experimenting with network layer protocols using tinyos1.x. The topologies i used were random topologies, but now i want to use specific topology like say grid topology. I am using cygwin. I read the documents for LossyBuilder and also created lossy topology using the same. I created a topology with '-d 2 5 -s 10 'ie 2*5 grid with 10 feet spacing. Now i try to give this file (created by Lossybuilder) as input by saying >./build/pc/main.exe -rf = topo.nss 10 (number of motes) Also i run TinyViz for the graphical layout of motes and the radio links between them. My problem is that the topology given through the '-rf=topo.nss' command line parameter and the one seen on TinyViz do not match. How do i give the same input file to TinyViz so that i can see the topology as topo.nss ? I tried to load the file in TinyViz but it looks for files with extension '*.mps' . How do i create such files and what do they mean? Is it that TinyViz does not automatically take the layout file specified through -rf option on the command line? Is there any particular way of doing this? Can anyone help me please?
