[Tinyos-help] "Programmer is still not responding" problem with MIB510

[Tsenka Stoyanova]

Hi all,



Thank you, for the answers.

We did many things including: different commands including 
"MIB510=/dev/ttyS0 make mica2 install" and ". mib510,/dev/ttyS3", switching 
the button in ON position, testing with serial RS232 cable instead of 
USB-to-RS232, testing with 4 different motes, etc.

Finally we borrow from another laboratory the same programmer, for an hour, 
and it worked with all our settings, cables, motes, and commands.

So, the problem seems to be on the board, probably the ISP cannot take 
control over the serial port and the processor could not respond, or the 
problem is with MAX232 buffer. We are still wondering and we are not so 
brave to touch the hardware to not break it completely, actually it works as 
a base station to send data to the PC.

Any other suggestions, please.

Tank you all
