[Tinyos-help] URGENT: how to set the RF power for mica2 motes

[R Gartz]

Hi,
I had a similar problem with my micaz motes: using the MakeXbowLocal file
didn't had any effect on the power...
So I tried (like Diego said)  "call CC2420Control.SetRFPower(X)". The result
was a much shorter communication range :)

greetz,
robin
