![]() ![]() There are different ways to do this, but I found the easiest way is to use CoolTerm. ![]() The first thing we need to do is to setup the XBee’s so they talk to each other. On the other hand, Sparkfun is a great place for beginners and prototypers (as myself).) Step 1: Program the XBee’s The downside is that they are more expensive than for example Digi-Key. (Yes, I am a Sparkfun whore, but hey – they have a good community, good customer service and short delivery time. (1x 9V to Barrel Jack Adapter ) optional.1x Arduino Leonardo or UNO (I’ll provide code for both).FTDI Drivers (used to communicate with the XBee Explorer).What you will use the wireless link to make is up to you – be freakin’ creative! Pre requirements Software: We will make a very simple program, because this tutorial will focus on setting up the communication. I will use OSX 10.8, but you could easily adopt this method to Windows or Linux. Wireless communication is still one of the coolest things I know of, and it opens up for so many possibilities! I will therefore, in this tutorial, show you how to setup and communicate wirelessly between two XBee’s Series 1. There may be some tutorial out there now, but with this I want to give back to the internet what it has given me almost every time I can’t figure something out a tutorial. I used a lot of time searching the web for a good tutorial, just to find out there wasn’t any. I remember when I first was trying to setup wireless connection between two Arduino’s back in 2010. ![]()
