To receive a message, you do have to use the radio's SplitControl interface to turn it on. Due to the radio technology used, receiption can actually draw more power than transmit. You'll want to look at Low Power Listening. I just read a few minutes ago a post about a (new?) tutorial covering power management that also covers this topic. _______________________________________________ Tinyos-help mailing list [email protected] https://www.millennium.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tinyos-help
