[Tinyos-help] Batteries problem...

[neliacatarina at portugalmail.pt]

Hello,

I've told you i'm using XSensorMTS420 but it was a mistake of mine. I'm realy using XMTS420_903_hp.exe and XMeshBase_903_hp.exe. So that's not the problem. The mica2's I have are MPR400CB with two batteries AA. I thing I can't change mica2's power so I have to go another way. Before XMeshBase I was using TOSBase and XSensor and saw data with xlisten in cygwin. Then I passed to MoteView but can't see the sensors correctly with that apps. What should I do? Use another application that can see TOSBase and XSensor? Because I can't really change it to 3.7V batteries to use XMesh.

Thanks

Nélia Santos

Program your sensor node with XMTS420 instead (XMeshBase can decode packets from XMesh apps only, NOT XSensor apps).
Also, make sure that the MICA2 plugged into MTS420 is powered by 3.7V Lithium battery (AA batteries don't provide enough voltage for MTS420 to function properly).

Giri

Hello,

I have a mica2 with XSensorMTS420(id=1) and another with XMeshBase(id=0).

If I put MTS420 directly in MIB510 with id=0 it apears like Gateway and I can see it's data. But with XMeshBase Moteview don't receave anything. The MTS420's leds toggle (both red and green) but XMeshBase seams like it's dead. Can you tell me what am I doing wrong?

Thanks
