The code in SVN does not suppress the beacons but here are some experiments that show what would happen if you suppressed the beacons: http://stuff.stanford.edu/~om_p/ctp/beaconsuppression.html - om_p _______________________________________________ Tinyos-help mailing list Tinyos-help@millennium.berkeley.edu https://www.millennium.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tinyos-help
