Xbee explorer serial setup

All XBees on the network should have the same value and the default should be good enough for now. Note the higher the value, the faster data can be sent, but the more likely you are to lose packets. Also remember to restart the terminal application and reconnect with the new baud rate once you apply this setting. MY - The 16 bit address of the XBee module, each device in the network should be given a unique address as this is what other XBees will refer to when sending data.

DH is used for 64bit addressing and is not needed in this tutorial, for simple setups 16bit addressing will probably be enough so you should make sure it is set to 0 and then forget about it for now. These will give the first XBee an address of 0 and tell it to send to 1 and the second XBee an address of 1 and tell it to send to 0.

If you now connect up both XBees any message you send on one should be received on the other. You have now seen how easy it is to connect two XBee modules together and how the transparent mode works, now this is fine for a single pair of XBees but it gets hectic if you want to add more XBees to the network for one you will have to keep changing the DL address to talk to different XBee modules.

In a future post I will talk about API mode and how to set up a network coordinator which will solve some of the problems with this simple set-up. XBee Configuration For my third year project I will be using a bunch of XBee connected to various devices, this post will talk about how to set up the XBee and what the various config options do. Question 3 years ago on Step 1. I am doing a project based on ZigBee on both the sides transmitter and receiver but m not using arduino instead of that m using micro controller so plz can u help me in coding.

I want to know if I can be able to understand by learning a zigbee thermostat and be able to send commands to it? More by the author:. About: Arduino Tutorials by Codebender. You can see the result of this tutorial on the below video : So, let's get started! Now click the "Write" button to save the changes in your xBee module. Disconnect the xBee explorer board from your computer and connect the other xBee module on it.

Here's the "xBee Transmitter" code, embedded using Codebender! The connections are pretty easy, see the above image with the breadboard circuit schematics. Power on both Arduino uno boards and try to fade the led by turning the potentiometer.

I Made It! Remote Control Light Switch by alanmerritt in Arduino. Reply Upvote. Hello to everyone, is there a limit in distance between the XBEE transmitter and receiver? Bagusiero 2 years ago. Answer Upvote. Hi, Great tutorial. EmdadulH2 Question 2 years ago. KartikB4 2 years ago. Once this is working then connect the XBees.

Also there have been many, many threads on this subject so search the forums. So, you said that i should not to connect both of XBees.. Just connect the two arduno's together. There are some links to using Xbee tutorials. By nsa4ever - Mon Jan 17, am. By waltr - Mon Jan 17, pm. I don't know much about the code. What does analogWrite 13, int recebe ; do? Once you have communication between the Arduios working then insert the XBees.
