[Tinyos-help] Problem with PowerManagement interface

[Muhammad Azhar]

Hi all,
 
  I intend to measure the difference in battery life between 2 MicaZ motes - one using the HPLPowerManagementM module, and another mote not using this module.  Basically, a "signal" is sent from the base station to the 2 motes before they send some data every alternate 1 sec.  However, I noticed that this module only seems to work for the "normal" module, but not with the "power saving" module.  The "normal" module is able to receive the signal from the base station, but the "power saving" module doesn't (fyi, I used the same mote to ensure that it has nothing to do with h/w fault).  Below is an excerpt of my code:
 
event TOS_MsgPtr ReceiveBcn.receive(TOS_MsgPtr msg) {
  Start* s = (Start*)msg->data;
  call Leds.redToggle();
 
  if (s->nodeid == BASE_STATION && s->bs_signal == TRUE) {
    if (TOS_LOCAL_ADDRESS == NODE_NORM) {
      call Timer.start(TIMER_REPEAT, 1024);
    }
    else if (TOS_LOCAL_ADDRESS == NODE_SAVE) {
      call Timer.start(TIMER_ONE_SHOT, 2038);
      #ifdef __AVR__
        call Enable();
        call PowerManagement.adjustPower();
      #endif
    }
    call Leds.yellowOn();
  }
  else {
    call Leds.greenOff();
  }

  return msg;
}
 
  Based on my "debugging" using the LEDs, NODE_NORM's red LED would toggle when receiving the signal from the BASE_STATION, but not NODE_SAVE.  Have I done the coding wrongly?
  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
  Thank you.
 
Regards,Azhar
