Dear all, I'm trying to measure the batteries life time when using a TmoteSky (telosb). I
would like to know whether ours results are acceptable. I used a modification of the Oscilloscope Application from TinyOS-1.x so that we only measure Temperature, according to the following characteristics: Send *1 msg* every 10 reading read (~1.2 sec); each *msg *has *10* temperature *readings*; * Sampling interval* 100 ms; *Packet length:* 33bytes; *No power management *was implemented; Using tmotesky's* default transmission power* (we suppose its using the Maximum); Using 2 AA Alkaline batteries (Cbatt 2450 mAh). As Base Station I have another TmoteSky using the TOSBase application. I am using SerialForwarder in order to count the Packets Read. *environment's temperature* was +- 25 Celsius. According to my test I had the following results: *Battery Life time: *1h 40min *Receive packets:* 4931 Somebody knows what are the parameters used for people who have reached measure battery lifetime around 3 and 10 days? Somebody knows what is the maximum battery lifetime using oscope without low power management? Thank you very much, Lea
