[Tinyos-help] Allocating address to a mote using the ActiveMessageAddressC component

[Itamar Amsili]

Hi Steve,

Thanks alot for the help and the code.
I'm using the mica2 mote(and if i'm not wrong it uses the cc1000 chipcon for radio),
so do you think it is compatible?
as you probably know the interfaces are not the same at all bet. the cc2420 and cc1000,
so i'm not so sure what i can do.

for you help i'll be grateful

Itamar
