[Tinyos-help] T2 and MTS300 CB. Cannot read Temperature

Hi everybody,

I wonder if someone has already use a MTS300 CB (the one with the nice
little green wire on their back).

Using the pure tinyOS, I got only readings equal to zero.

I modified PhotoTempDeviceC in the following way:
//  TempControl.Power -> MicaBusC.Int2;
  TempControl.Power -> MicaBusC.PW0;

Since the power control pin of the mts300 cb is pw0, I thought my zero
nightmare would end here.

But it only results in getting more zero values for the temperature
readings, and the it's extremly slow ! (a read call takes a few seconds). As
far as I could grep, PW0 is not used by any other resource (except
sensorboard mda100, but obviously, I am not wiring it).
Also, pin Int1 can conflict with int2/pw0  according to the mts300
datasheet. People with CA boards have no problem, so it doesn't conflict
with int2, therefore it should not conflict with PW0 either..

Anybody had put his hands on that? I would really like know what is the
temperature here ..

Thank you in advance,

Alban Hessler
