This is probably more of a style question than anythign else. I am
curious if this makes sense. I figured before spending a few hours
and trying to implement my project this way, i'd run it by the
experts.
If I want to have 2(probably not more) components running in the same
TOSSIM simulation like stated above, would it make sense to make these
components basically autonomous in that they just need to be linked to
Main.StdControl. I was thinking something like this:
file1:
configuration Wrap{
}
implementation{
components CHOICE1, CHOICE2;
if(TOS_LOCAL_ADDRESS == 0){
Main.StdControl -> CHOICE1;
}
else{
Main.StdControl-> CHOICE2;
}
}
but then CHOICE1 and 2 would be configurations instead of Modules that
take care of all of their wirings to other Modules, and interfaces.
This way the wrapper file is clean, and the two separate components
can each do their own thing and there will be less confusion if they
need to provide or use interfaces.
Does that make sense?
