[Tinyos-help] RF230

[Hristo Bojkov]

Thank you for all mails Janos.
Yes I know that they are compatible, from Xbow mails... Finally I was told 
where the problem is. I just received mail from Meshnetics. They said that I 
have discovered a bug in their bootloader.exe tool. It cannot set the 
channel of the zigbit module to be 26, as the default one in tinyos. the 
value I passed was too big for its command line parser.
I still have to find out how to program the mote with proper channel mask 
set...to be able to communicate with existing tmote installaton.
