[Tinyos-help] Is it possible to adjust MOTE/MiCAz's transmit power in the middle of the process

[Jeongyeup Paek]

Yes, both micaz and telosb can change rf power on the fly.
Check "CC2420Control".
Just be careful how you send the command. If you 'reduce' the power,
the command might never reach the farther away nodes.
Also, if you are using a dynamic routing protocol,
routes might become invalid.

Thanks
