Flavio, Why don't you use a java application like TestSerial.java described at http://docs.tinyos.net/index.php/Mote-PC_serial_communication_and_SerialForwarder ?<http://docs.tinyos.net/index.php/Mote-PC_serial_communication_and_SerialForwarder?>?.
This way you don't need to worry about the packet format. Actually, you will need to change this java app for sending packets to BaseStation, but it is not so complicated. regards, Afonso Ribas ------------------------------ > > Message: 4 > Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2008 16:44:21 -0400 > From: "Cabrera-Mora, Flavio" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [Tinyos-help] Problem sending packets - Serial to MIB510 > To: <[email protected]> > Message-ID: > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > Dear sirs, > > I'm working in an application using micaZ motes and tinyOS2. > > The settings: the basic configuration consists of a micaZ (from now on, > the base) plugged on top of a MIB510 board, and this board connected through > a serial port to a computer.
