Hi,
I am Arun a graduate student at State University of New York at Buffalo.
I am doing a project in wireless sensor networks using
TELOSB motes and TinyOS 2.x. I have some confusion regarding the
current(I) consumption of radio. I hope you could
clear my doubts:
I am using the SplitControl interface with radio as follows:
In configuration file :
X.AMControl -> CC2420ActiveMessageC;
In module file i am defining SplitControl as AMControl
interface SplitControl as AMControl;
and i am using AMControl.Stop and Start to simulate start and stop of
Radio.
My questions:
1) When i start the mote(boot up), will the radio be on state or off
state or idle?
2) how much current the Radio is going to consume after i stop the radio
using AMControl.Stop?
i mean is the radio going to consume the current in idle mode(21
micro amps) or sleep mode(1 micro amps)?
I read the TEP 115 for TinyOS and found that using Split control is
going to make the sub system consume less current/power. but i am not
sure how much!
Could you please answer my question?
Thanks,
-Arun
