Hi all, I am programming with Tinyos/TOSSIM 2. Particularly I am working on CTP data collection protocol.
Meanwhile, I needed to define float (or double) variables. I found many problems like "floating point exception", other issues related to casting... Finally I was able to integrate my float variables. However, I don’t know what are the consequences of defining these float variables. In fact, I remarked that tinyos community avoids using floats or double. For example, for the PRR (packet reception ratio) that can be found in LinkEstimationP.nc, the authors, multiply PRR by 100 in order to have integer (uint8_t) PRR, between 0 and 100, instead of float PRR, between 0 and 1!!! This is just an example but there are more. So I would like to know what is the problem by using real variables. Can anyone feedback on that? Thanks in advance Nouha _______________________________________________ Tinyos-help mailing list [email protected] https://www.millennium.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tinyos-help
