Hi Yasserz,
You may have a look at the wonderful tutorials available in
http://docs.tinyos.net/index.php/TinyOS_Tutorials
Further this, you can find all the interfaces and how to use them in
the folder interfaces inside the tinyos tree. It is even more
accesible if you use the Yeti2 plugin for Eclipse, since it
autocomplete and show description while coding.
Anyway, I think you could to use:
declare for this component:
uint32_t period;
uint32_t delay;
uint16_t packetCounter;
Start the timer whenever you want:
delay = 1024*60*5; // 5 minutes in milliseconds
timerTx.startPeriodicAt ( delay, period );
Update counter:
Send.sendDone ( .... ) {
if (counterPacket == PACKET_NUM ) {
timer.stop ();
while ( timer.isRunning() ); // wait till timer stops
timerIdle.startOneShot ( any period );
}
}
And when event timerIdle.fired () happens then start the other timer again:
timerTx.startPeriodicAt ( delay, period );
Cheers!!!
Sergio
