[Tinyos-help] MoteView -> Changing voltage levels on the fly?

[Giri Baleri]

MoteView merely displays the data as reported by Motes.
The voltage to the Motes is dictated by the batteries that are attached
to the Motes and MoteView has no control over it.
Your best bet would be to use a variable bench power supply to power the
Motes and vary the voltage and notice any topology changes in MoteView.
 
As long as the battery voltage is held above 2.5V, I wouldn't expect any
topology changes.

Hi,

First of all I am sort of new to MoteView and its capabilities, so bear
with me...

I am supposed to set-up a MoteView demo for high school students. One
thing I would like to show is how the voltage levels of the motes can
affect the network topology (because if one or more motes' voltage
levels drop too far, then they will go down). I would like to be able to
show this rather than turning off one mote to see how the rest of the
topology develops, etc.

Thanks!
