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

[R Gartz]

Hello,

I had a similar problem: the programmer did not respond although TOSBase
could receive and send message from and to the pc/network
However, the motes could not be reprogrammed. I identified the problem: the
motes were not getting enough power to program them. There was something
wrong with the external power connector/supplier.
Maybe you should look in this direction?

greetings,
robin
