You can use SplitControl to turn the radio on and off. When the radio is turned on, it will be receiving. Since the transceiver can't send and receive at the same time, the radio won't be receiving while sending a message. Once a transmission is over, it will be receiving again. The radio won't go to sleep unless you explicitly call SplitControl.stop(). It's a different story if you choose to use low power listening. You can read about that at http://www.tinyos.net/tinyos-2.x/doc/html/tep105.html Janos _______________________________________________ Tinyos-help mailing list [email protected] https://www.millennium.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tinyos-help
