[Tinyos-help] Mica2 Installation Guide available

[Mark Bramwell]

I have been creating an "Installation Guide CD-ROM" for my fellow students 
at our University.  After pulling my hair out for weeks, I have been able to 
create a reproducable and stable environment for Mica2 motes with 
sensorboards.

The guide is useful for anyone that does not know where to start or has got 
themselves to a certain point and are receiving well-known error messages.

I am using TinyOS 1.1.15 under WindowsXP.

I am still working on the guide (note that the final chapter regarding 
experiments is still being typed) but the current doc should be able to get 
new Mica2 boards fresh from the factory running some experiments in less 
than 2 hours. I am using the software on both a desktop as well as a laptop 
with an USB-to-Serial adapter.

If you want to see what I have so far, I have mounted the CDROM onto a 
website:

For those that want to start really fast, you only need 3 files from the 
site:
1. UW Mica2 Installion Guide
2. UCB TinyOS 1.1.11 Installer for Windows
3. TinyOS 1.1.15 update

If you find something that is not working in your setup, let me know.
