[Tinyos-help] how to let mote sleep

[Timothy Strongton]

Thanks to Phil Levis and Hui Kang (mailed me directly) for teaching me about
this.

To recap, the other components (except the MCU) don't sleep even if there
are no tasks to run.  Hence, for example, if the radio is in RX mode, I
believe an interrupt would wake up the MCU if any packet is received.  If
needed, the radio has to be sent to sleep explicitly.  The correct way to do
this seems to be through the OscillatorOff() command in the CC2420Control
interface of CC2420ControlM (in TinyOS 1.x).

Thanks again,
Tim
