A suggestion: if you want to roll your own code, start by reading
through the existing code which does what you want to do. The Java
version (well, the part that encodes a packet for transmission over a
serial port) is in
tinyos-1.x/tools/java/net/tinyos/packet/Packetizer.java. It does have
comments, and it does have a brief description of the protocol and
encoding.
