[Tinyos-help] Receiving serial messages from the PC

[Pedro Almeida]

Hello;

I'll tell you what I've been told by Steve McKown when asked about something
similar:

quote:

"Then you should look at the C SDK @ $TOSROOT/support/sdk/c. It can
handle the the serial protocol for you; you get to read and write serial
active messages and dispense with the framing/ack/crc stuff. Highly
recommended; I use it in a couple of systems. The sdk also provides tools to
get/set header fields and arbitrary payload fields that are defined by your
application. There's been a couple of discussions about the C SDK on this
list in the last few months.

You might also want to look at the MultiHopOscilloscope app, included in
TinyOS-2.0.1, which uses the Collection interface. The PC side code uses the

Java SDK, but I'd imagine it's a good source of information."

I never used it cause it wasn't what I was trying to do, but it seems that's
what you wish to do. Please check it, it might help you out.
There's also Java and Python equivalents if you don't with to use C.

Regards,

Pedro
