[Tinyos-help] Does Mica2 2003 version works with TinyOS 2.x?

[Peizhao Hu]

Dear Philip,

I searched through the archives and found this

CFLAGS = -DCC1K_DEFAULT_FREQ=900000000

I add to the RadioCountToLeds example.
and installed to two motes. doesn't help.

I also tried different Frequency suggested like 916700000. no luck.
it appears the Led0 is on and nothing else, I tried java net.tinyos.tools.Listen, nothing is coming through.

well the label said 900MHz, so I assumed it supports 900000000 setting.

please help!
