Hi Ying,

Short answer: out of the box, no.

Longer answer: the internal RC oscillator is not stable enough to give
you microsecond accuracy. Thus, you have to rely on the 32kHz crystal.
This will give you an accuracy of about 30us. I think in the latest
CVS tree, there is a version of FTSP that uses the T32khz as a time
source.

If you really need microsecond accuracy, then you will have to add an
external 8MHz (or 4MHz) crystal to the TMote. I have done it before,
but it involves some PCB design for an extension board.

Cheers,

Thomas
