[Tinyos-help] CC2420 RSSI Question

[Urs Hunkeler]

A few weeks ago I asked the mailing list, whether it would make sense to 
include an interface into the standard tinyos stack for sampling RSSI 
values at any time. There were no answers to this question, so I ask it 
again, this time with some proposed modifications.

Dave, you can extract the files from the attached archive into your 
application's directory. You can then simply wire to the 
CC2420ControlC's readRSSI interface.

Cheers,
Urs
