[Tinyos-help] AM source destination stuff

[Michael Schippling]

I think you are confusing AMtype and MoteID.
I believe that first arg to the send() should be the MoteID
which is assigned when you install your program, or BCAST
if you don't care what device receives the message.
The AMtype is set by creating your sender and receiver.
It defines the message structure type and thus the block
of code in your program that gets the message.

I think AmSender, etal, may be a TOS2 thing so I can't
help much more. Look at some of the example apps that
use different messages to see how they are defined.
