[Tinyos-help] using MoteIV Sky from Linux - how to?

[Ákos Maróy]

Hi,

I'm very new to TinyOS in general, I just got two MoteIV Sky motes
(http://www.moteiv.com/products/tmotesky.php), and I'm trying to get
them work from under Linux (Gentoo to be specific).

I've followed instructions on how to install the TinyOS environment from
here: http://www.moteiv.com/community/Tmote_Linux_install . I can list
the mote I plug in to my laptop via the motelist utility.

But, frankly, I don't know where to go next. I was looking at the
tutorials & other information on the tinyos.net site, but it speaks of
the mica mote platform, whereas the MoteIV mote is msp430. So I don't
even know how to compile & download the blink application to the mote.

Moreover, there's a piece of software refered to as Delta in the MoteIV
Sky quickstart guide - and I don't know where to get that either.

Anyway, my main goal is just to set up the motes, so that they 'see'
each other, and that I can read their sensors. I understand this is what
motes are for :)

Can someone give me some pointers on where to look for information?

Thanks,


Akos
