[Tinyos-help] online energy consumption estimation on software

Hi,

I have a question about how to estimate the energy consumption by software
during node operations. Has anybody developed an algorithm of online energy
estimation in TOS 2.x (e.g. like the one developed for Contiki)?

If useful, I am considering developing a module that timestamps time periods
when the radio is in TX, RX and sleep modes, and that store the activity
times of the sensor devices attached then multiplying by the data sheet
power values. Do you reckon this is a good approach? In case do you have any
suggestions which file/s are the drivers of the radio that I should use for
the timestamping calls?

I would greatly appreciate any help or comment
Best Regards,
Antonio
