Originally, this tutorial was written to configure an XBee Series 1 to communicate in transparency mode. However, this can apply to the XBee Series 3 module as long as you configure the firmware to the legacy Favorited Favorite 26 Wish List. Favorited Favorite 13 Wish List. Heads up!

Not all the pins can support change interrupts for a serial Rx pin depending on what Arduino microcontroller is used. If you were using it with ATmega i. Arduino Mega or ATmega32U4 i. For more information about the limitations, try looking at the Arduino reference language for the Software Serial library.
Example: Remote Control Arduino Setting up a chat system is fun, but where XBees and the XBee Shield really shine is in passing data to and from an Arduino, so you can remotely control it or receive data from it. Example Sketch Here's the sketch. You can use XCTU's console, or another serial terminal program even the serial monitor!
Development environment specifics: IDE: Arduino 1. This code is beerware; if you see me or any other SparkFun employee at the local, and you've found our code helpful, please buy us a round! Distributed as-is; no warranty is given. Check out the comments in the code for a line-by-line dissection. Use leading zeros for single- and double-digit values. Example: w will write pin 6 to 88 d v -- digital write pin to v. Example: ddh will write pin 13 High r - digital read digital pin Example: r3 will digtally read from pin 3.
Resources and Going Further That should be enough to get you started. Yes, it is possible to send and receive data at the same time. When XBee modules are configured in "AT mode" also referred to as "Transparent Serial" , you configure the DH and DL parameters to identify the destination node that will receive the serial data.
XBee is not the same as ZigBee—instead, XBee is a brand of radio communication modules made by Digi that can support a number of protocols, including ZigBee, Its range is 10 to 30 meters. XBee is a module produced by Digi International mainly use as a radio communication transceiver and receiver. It is mesh communication protocols that sits on top of IEEE XBee and Zigbee. First off, Xbee refers to a family of devices from Digi that share form factor, host interface and a group of protocols you can select from Zigbee being one of these.
Zigbee , on the other hand, is a mesh networking protocol built upon the The Xbee shield allows an Arduino board to communicate wirelessly using Zigbee. It is based on the Xbee module from MaxStream. The module can communicate up to feet indoors or feet outdoors with line-of-sight. Launch XCTU. Click the Configuration working modes button. Click the Discover radio modules button.
Input-Side Button Circuit. I chose to use the SoftwareSerial library and Arduino pins 2 and 3 rather than the default pin 0 and 1 for serial communication , so that I could use the default serial pins for printing debug statements to a serial monitor. Connect your button to the Arduino as shown in the diagram above. I wanted the button to default to logic low when not pressed, so I added a pull-down resistor to my circuit.
Your first Arduino is now set up! Make sure that the LED is in the right orientation. At this point, I like to debug my circuit by writing a quick Arduino sketch to make sure that my LED and button are functioning as expected. Otherwise, I might conflate a communication issue with a simple wiring or port setting issue.
Using Arduinos makes the demo code fairly simple, although the final Callaloo will be a custom PCB design, not a pre-made development board i. On the input button side, we are checking for a button input and writing a character to the XBee via a serial connection.
On the output side, we are checking if we received a certain character, and if so, turning on the LED by setting that bit high. Now you should have a basic XBee network up and running! The next step for the Callaloo system is to expand the XBee network with more modules and prototype the bathroom door sensors.
Hello Jaime, This is great tutorial and I appriciate you. When I select transparent mode none of the symbols for C,R,E are not appear. And I can not establish communication between two antennas. The loggs that I entered from the console,appear in the same console with different color. What the problem is in your point of view? Thank you Jamie, I got some idea on X bee and I am trying on x bee pro bhp modules for water tank automation , kindly share your ideas for communication between the said modules!
Its really very informative article. I found answer to a lot of my questions about xbee. Now its time to connect my recent bought xbees to explore their world. Many thanks Jamie. Can you explain the configuration settings of using 3 xbee one coordinator and 2 End points. End point Xbee will be Sending information to the Coordinator.
The above-mentioned two connections supply the power to the XBee module as well. After that, open the application and connect your XBee using a USB to serial converter or an explorer board. Check the COM port of the Xbee in the device manager. Step 5: Now, the XBee module will appear on the left side of the window. Click on it to update the user interface. After this, a pop-up window will appear.
Click on YES. Each network must be given a unique ID. This indicates that both the XBee modules are in the same network. Step 8: Give any 4 digits for the Destination Address. This same number must be entered as Source Address for the other XBee module.
Step 9: Give any 4 digits for the Source Address. This same number must be entered as the Destination Address for the other XBee module.
