 There are scripts on net2 website to parse the debug messages sent by
 the nodes.
 
+To test, start with two motes with no program that transmits
+packets. Example., erase the mote or install Blink. Program a mote with
+node id 0. The mote will toggle led1 (green on TelosB) approximately
+every 8s. Then program the second mote with id 1. Once programming is
+complete, the mote with id 0 will toggle led1 twice every 8s. Each
+toggle corresponds to the reception of collection message (once from
+itself, and once from the mote with id 1).
+
+Errors indications:
+
+Motes 0 and 1 will set led0 (red on TelosB) if there are errors while
+sending the packet.
+
+Mote 0 will set led2 (blue on TelosB) if the gap in sequence number on
+consecutive packet reception from node 1 is greater than 1. This is
+expected to be a rare event while doing experiment on a desk.
