Hi there! I want to communicate the telosb with a gprs modem (siemens TC65) using a serial port, the idea is use the serial port to send and receive (using SerialAMReceiverC and SerialAMSenderC) data, and configure the modem to send the data to a remote pc.
As Bill, in other email, pointed out, there are some issues. The first one is the voltage levels, I read that could be solved by using the max3232 to convert from 3V to 5V, to have a true rs232 connector. The second one, and here comes my headache is wich of the uart port should I use. There are 2 options: 1- use the uart0 rx and tx from the expansion ports. But I will need to listen the CC2420 all the time, so here is the problem. (I'm not sure of it because I checked the tmote datasheet and I haven't seen any of the pins shared by the uart0 and CC2420, is it internal from the msp430?). In tinyos-2 there are some resource managers, does anybody knows if the problems could be solved with it? 2- use the uart1, for me this would be perfect, because I'm already sending the data over this port, but to take the serial I do have to do some hardware changes to the tmote. What do you suggest? getting out the usb chip and connecting the max3232 there? I thing this is a bit dangerous, and there is high probability to crash the tmote. Or maybe there is a possibility to reconvert from the usb to serial another time using another chip? Excuse for my novice. Jordi
