John Regehr says: To save myself from repeating information to students I wrote a very quick guide to getting started with TinyOS and Avrora, the UCLA Mica2 simulator. The point is not to provide any new information but rather to avoid extraneous information. [1]
John Regehr says: I have started to work on a TinyOS debugging tutorial. It is just a skeleton so far. I would be more than happy to integrate pieces of text that are submitted to me. [2]
