[Tinyos-help] mica2dot temperature sensor

[Ömer Sinan Kaya]

i think you should call temperature sensors getdata function instead of 
calling some function in hardware.h . It shouldn't be different from 
acquiring data from photo sensor or other sensor. I remember having 
written an application to receive data from Temp sensor on Mica2 mote 
which used to work correctly. Received data should be converted to 
celsius using a formula which is found in the datasheet of Mica2. 
However, for the case of mica2dot we have received varying data with 
temperature increase and decrease but we couldn't find a formula to 
convert it to celsius.
