[Tinyos-help] connecting micz to the usb port directly(without programming board)

[Abhishek Anand]

Hi,
I want to connect my micaz motes to the computer's usb port without using
the programming board(MIB510) because I have many motes but only 1
programming board(cant afford more! ). With ony one programming board, I'm
unable to debug the program running in all the motes simultaneously

USB male to female connector-cables are available in abundance. I figured
out that a USB connector has 4 pins.
And the prototyping area of my mda100cb sensor board has 3 pins labelled

UART1_RX
UART1_TX
 UART1_CX

So should I solder these 3 pins and ground to the 4 pins of USB female side
of the cable? (in which order?)
Can I connect many motes in this way to multiple USB ports of the same
computer?
Will the debuggging messages sent using printf from all motes be displayed?


Thanks in advance
