is there a file avalaible using proteus for this project or equivalent Xbee + PIC ?

I am also just starting to work with XBee modules. I purchased a book called Building Wireless Sensor Networks (ISBN: 978-0-596-80773-3) from SparkFun Electronics(http://www.sparkfun.com/) and it seems to be very complete. I think it would be a great help to all of you. Good luck with your projects …….

Hai,
currently i am doing my final year project by using Xbee s2 for wireless communication.upto now i am successfully transmit and receive signals using PC.now at the receiver side i want to convert the received signal into another parameter by means of 8051 Mc and then displayed by means of LCD..
for that i don know that much abt interfacing of Xbee with 8051 and then i want to know wat are the components needed for me.. can anybody help me!!

You may want to take a look at this -> https://github.com/felis/lightweight-usb-host The code was written for PC micro but can easily be modified for 8051

hello…
i new with xbee..i want to send data from sn-hmd sensor using 8051 microcontroller through xbee. and the data will display at pc.can u give me suggestion about the c coding for xbee.

Hi oleg
I want to send data typed on one module using a keypad and microcontroller to other using Xbee and display the data on the other module having an Lcd .can u suggest how to go about it.

I don’t think Xbee has buffer large enough to store 200 values but check the user manual to be sure.

I forgot one important thing, I need it to be “real time”, that is I would send a start frame (broadcast) once per second and the 5 end devices should send their arrays before the new start frame arrives. After each end device sends the array it will continue sampling until it gets a new start frame.

Hi Oleg,
I want to use xbee modules to transmit signal from 5 ECG sensors (end devices) placed in one room to one central module (coordinator) that will send this data to a PC and then draw the ECG signals. I need to sample the signal at 200Hz, my idea is to use a PIC with each end device in order to save the 200 samples in an array and every time the coordinator ask for data the 5 end devices would send the 200 samples in different time slots, eg: coordinator sends a “start” frame and the first end device sends the array while the second sensor waits for a 200ms before sending its array, the third end device will wait for 400ms and so on. My questions are:
-Do I need the PICs or is it possible for the xbee to buffer the 200 values until it is told to send them?
-If I don´t use the PIC, how do I tell the 5 end devices to send the data exactly when I want them to?
I think using PIC would be easier and I would be able to have a better control of the network. I would really appreciate your opinion.

I was only using xbee module manual from Digi site and code from other people.
