Location application sample vs Z-LocationEngine

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

I have made a program which able to send a serial command to dongle of Z-LocationEngine and Location application sample.

Situation 1) When Z-LocationEngine is running, I sent LOCATION_BLINDNODE_REQUEST_CONFIG or LOCATION_BLINDNODE_CONFIG to blind node with either FFFF short address or the short address of the blind node, it works (no problem).

Situation 2) when Location application sample is running, I sent LOCATION_BLINDNODE_REQUEST_CONFIG to blind node with FFFF short address, it works too (no problem).

Problem: when Location application sample is running, I sent LOCATION_BLINDNODE_REQUEST_CONFIG or LOCATION_BLINDNODE_CONFIG with the short address of the blind node, there is no response.

Does anyone know why?

    Normally the two should be exactly the same, but one problem could be that the Firmware (hex files) that is included in the Z-Location Engine 1.3.1 PC SW installer is build on an older version of the Z-Stack (1.4.2) while the Location application example is build with the latest version of the Z-Stack. I don’t know what the differences could be but that could be the reason.

    You could use the packet sniffer to check the message sent from the dongle to see if everything is as expected. Packet sniffer URL: http://www.ti.com/litv/zip/swrc045j

    Thank you for your response. The packet sniffer is useful for me.

    Hi,

    I am a  beginer with CC2431and  trying to adapt the location engine source code example for my project, "C:\Texas Instruments\ZStack-1.4.3-1.2.1\Projects\zstack\Samples\Location".

    In the app note "Create New Application For The CC2430DB" F8W-2005-0033. It says you have to copy that folder and rename some files and the content of some of them, but once done I don´t know how to start codding:

    - which part of the code should be kept?? 

    - which part of the code should be deleted??

    -where have I got to write my new code??

    I wonder if anyone knows about any tutorial or similar document.

    Thanks,

    Javier.
