Sending Advertisements

Once you have prepared your timer driver (see TschTimer) and radio driver (see TschRadio), the first step is to have your mote send advertisements. This step involves a single mote.

Set up the timer

Configure the timer to fire every TsSlotDuration. If you have the debug pins in place, you should see a screen similar to the following on your scope:

Set up the schedule

Now, set up the development schedule, but leave out everything but the ADV slot (slot 0). Configure your ADV-regenation task such taht it generates an ADV every second.

Send Advertisement

Feel free to use the IEEE80254E.c source file. If everything runs fine, you should see:

on your sniffer, one ADV packet sent every second, abiding to the ADV packet format;
on your scope, you should see that the ADV is sent TsTxOffset into the slot, as per the illustration below.
