>From what I understand both should work, but extracting the payload and sending it to Serial should be easier as you have the components to manipulate the tymo packet on the BaseStation, but not on the PC.
On the other hand, it's probably more efficient to simply give the received message to Serial, and write some code in your program to read the tymo packet (shouldn't be hard to translate the nesC code into C/Java/...) -Romain On Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 4:57 AM, Deeksha G.
