This patch was written/tested on MoteWorks SDK. I don't know if it would work seamlessly in any version of TinyOS. Giri

I do have the new MTS420CC board. I downloaded the drivers from the link you sent. I have a question though: Do I need to load the /opt/tinyos-1.x/contrib/xbow/apps/XSensorMTS400 app or the /opt/tinyos-1.x/contrib/xbow/apps/xmesh/XMTS420CC app? I get a ton of compile errors when I try to compile the xmesh one, and the XSensor one still doesn't give me GPS data when I use XListen. I did change the SENSORBOARD variable in the XSensor makefile to mts420cc. Is it possible that I'm using an old version of TinyOS, or am I doing something incorrectly? This is the output I get: [2008/02/15 23:35:46] MTS420 [sensor data converted to engineering units]: health: node id = 2 battery: = 3278 mv humidity: = 28 % Temperature: = 26 degC IntersemaTemperature: = -78 degC IntersemaPressure: = -402 mbar Light: = 0.192361 lux X-axis Accel: = 533.333333 mg Y-axis Accel: = 96.446701 mg [2008/02/15 23:36:06] MTS420 [sensor data converted to engineering units]: health: node id = 2 battery: = 3278 mv humidity: = 28 % Temperature: = 26 degC IntersemaTemperature: = -78 degC IntersemaPressure: = -402 mbar Light: = 0.486144 lux X-axis Accel: = 533.333333 mg Y-axis Accel: = 101.522843 mg Thanks for all the help!

These are available in MoteWorks and an update has been posted to our knowledgebase. http://www.xbow.com/Support/wobjectDetail.aspx?id=50160000000KuHhAAK&typ e=Solution&page=0 If you try to use older GPS drivers with the new MTS420CC, you might not get GPS data. If you believe that you have the older board and are using compatible older drivers, please check your GPS antenna connections and make sure that it is placed outdoors with optimal sky visibility. I hope that helps, Giri ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nikhil Singhal Sent: Friday, February 15, 2008 3:04 AM To: Siirtola Harri Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Tinyos-help] re: GPS module of MTS420 not working It seems like I am getting all the MTS400 data, and that there should be a separate packet with the GPS data which, if is 0x0a packet is the heartbeat, never arrives. Any ideas? Thanks! On Fri, Feb 15, 2008 at 5:43 AM, Siirtola Harri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: IIRC, the 0x0a packet is the heartbeat (health) packet that motes send indicating they're alive. Might be that XListen won't parse it but it's not the source of your problem. The parsed packet also looks odd, considering there should be some GPS info. Although it reads MTS420, is the MTS400 app sending all required data? Sorry, haven't used MTS420 but wrote just to give something to think about.

As it turns out, my sensor board was faulty. I'm using another one now, and I get readings from all the other sensors, but nothing from the GPS. I have installed the XSensorMTS400 app on the board, and am using TinyOS 1.x. This is the output I get: [2008/02/15 04:31:31] error: no packet handler for tos type 0x0a [2008/02/15 04:31:31] MTS420 [sensor data converted to engineering units]: health: node id = 2 battery: = 3278 mv humidity: = 28 % Temperature: = 25 degC IntersemaTemperature: = 24 degC IntersemaPressure: = 1011 mbar Light: = 4.600000 lux X-axis Accel: = 616.666667 mg Y-axis Accel: = 116.751269 mg I'm guessing that the line "error: no packet handler for tos type 0x0a" might be the problem, but I have no idea how to fix it. Any help would be highly appreciated! Thanks! -- Nikhil Singhal -- Nikhil -- Nikhil
