+README for RadioCountToLeds
+Author/Contact: tinyos-help@millennium.berkeley.edu
+
+Description:
+
+This is a low power listening version of RadioCountToLeds,
+using the broadcast address to delivery packets.  That means even in
+an ack'ing LPL scheme, the delivery will remain on for the full 
+duration of the receiver's LPL check to ensure all listeners get the message.
+
+Try it with ACK_LOW_POWER_LISTENING and NOACK_LOW_POWER_LISTENING by editing
+the Makefile
+
+RadioCountToLeds maintains a 4Hz counter, broadcasting its value in 
+an AM packet every time it gets updated. A RadioCountToLeds node that 
+hears a counter displays the bottom three bits on its LEDs. This 
+application is a useful test to show that basic AM communication and 
+timers work.
+
+Tools:
+
+RadioCountMsg.java is a Java class representing the message that
+this application sends.  RadioCountMsg.py is a Python class representing
+the message that this application sends.
+
+Known bugs/limitations:
+
+None.
