If your network is small, you should be able to use 1 or 2 seconds. But it really depends on your network topology, link qualities etc so it is hard to tell what the current draw would be. > I switched from using duty cycle instruction to sleep interval yesterday > and, although the current draw varies a lot every now and then, it seems > to settle to under 1mA after some time. > > Correct me if I'm wrong but I should wire Low Power Listening and > Splitinit to RF230ActiveMessageC.nC, and Send to CollectionC.nc > shouldn't I? > > The order I'm using is the following: > > Boot -> LPL.setLocalSleepInterval -> StartCollection -> Start Radio -> > > ->Radio Started, then Start Periodic Timer -> Timer Fires, call Send > Function > > ->Before using send from the send command, use call > LPL.setRxSleepInterval(&msg, LPL_INTERVAL); You need to do that for every single packet that is sent by/through CTP. - om_p _______________________________________________ Tinyos-help mailing list [email protected] https://www.millennium.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tinyos-help
