[Smac-users] Snooper in Cygwin

[Wei Ye]

Some people have reported the snooper problem over Cygwin in Windows --
the snoop.c runs but doesn't show any packets. The problem doesn't
happen in Linux. Today I had a chance to test the snooper in Cygwin, and
saw the same problem. It seems that the baud rate of the serial port is
not correctly set. Here's a workaround that works for me.

Open the HyperTerminal, and use it to set the baud rate of the serial
port that you're using. For Mica2, the baud rate is 57600 (b/s). After
you set it, the HyperTerminal is connected to the serial port. Now turn
on a mote that sends packets (e.g., PhyTestSender), the HyperTerminal
should receive some garbage bytes -- indicating data has passed over the
serial port. Now turn off the HyperTerminal and run snoop.c again. It
should work correctly.

BTW, if you're still using S-MAC v1.1, I strongly encourage you to
switch to S-MAC v1.2 or the latest version from TinyOS CVS.
