====== XBee + Arduino Sending Packet API Mode ====== ===== Packet Sending: to Arduino XBee ===== Another short tutorial I followed to send packet to XBee Arduino: http://www.desert-home.com/2012/10/using-xbee-library.html {{:weatherbox:team_quasar:arduinoxbeereceiving.png?200|}} ===== Packet Sending: from Arduino XBee ===== You must download the XBee Library for Arduino! ==== Packet Receiving XBee ==== *Connect the RX XBee to XCTU *Get the High and Low 64 Bit Address and write it down. It should most likely be 0 if you didn't change the original settings. This is different from your PAN ID. ==== Packet Sending XBee ==== *Go to Arduino->File->Examples->XBee Library->Series2_Tx Example *You must download it as a binary file *Got to Arduino->Sketch-> Export File Binary *Check it compiles *Change the SH + SL Address of receiving XBee to the address you wrote down previously *Check it compiles and upload to the Arduino *Wire up board with Arduino and XBee (Make sure XBee TX goes to Arduino RX and XBee RX goes to Arduino TX) ==== Bringing two components together ==== *Open XCTU and go to the Console Log screen *In Arduino, open the Serial Monitor *You should receive a packet in XCTU and the XBee Serial Monitor should say it received data CONGRATS! You sent a packet :D {{:weatherbox:team_quasar:arduinoxbeesending.png?200|}}
