Hello
I am getting a strange error which I beleive is related to my multiple
Timer instances. After reading some posts on TinyOS help I found that
there was a problem with early implementations of the parametrised
Timer interface, which created a namespace larger than the actual
number of timers. I feel that I have this same problem as I have a
seemingly random runtime error.
Was there a workaround for this timer problem? Where can I find some
information?

A parameterized interface isn't really appropriate, for a variety of
reasons, the foremost of which is that there are really only two UARTs.
We've run into lots of problems in the past when a parameterized
interface declared a parameter namespace larger than what the
underlying module supported
---- Need information regarding this --- JV
(early versions of Timer suffered from this
problem).

The only way to discover improper wirings is through a
runtime failure result.

I'll admit that it's news to me that people's current uses require
changing all of these parameters. We are, unfortunately, not
omniscient; unless someone tells us there is a problem (e.g., "I use
UART1, and need settings different than the default ones. A way to
change the settings through an interface would be helpful.") we
generally can't do much about it. We welcome suggestions for changes to
make current implementations more useful to the community.
