Thanks for the quick reply Miklos. Using the program from \tinyos-2.x\apps\tests\rf230\RF230Test as a guide we added in RF230LayerC and RF230ActiveMessageC to the wiring file. To TestSchedulerC we added RadioState.turnOff() command and all of the other required wiring and include statements.
After making these changes the motes drew 1mA less than before. What are we missing?
