What is the appropriated strategy? Throw an exception when an ID 0xff...ff was read? Or how many times should the operation retry?
I guess it is a good idea to wait for 1 second and try again, repeating this behavior three times. If the device has not woken up by then we can interpret this as an error and throw an exception.
Every now and then we have the problem that our iSense nodes lose their IDs. After flashing, they have the MAC address 0xff...ff.
This happened both with the Testbed Runtime (https://github.com/itm/testbed-runtime) and some months ago from time to time with a Python script (http://www.jennic.com/support/forums/thread.php?postID=0000005564).
We use the old iSense nodes (with JN5139), having 30 nodes with 10 nodes per one mini-PC (each 5 nodes at one active USB hub).
An answer on the iSense mailing list was the following:
