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

I want to build a RC helicopter and i am looking forward to Xbee as a wireless link to Arduino…
I need some referance of Xbee as i am totally blank about it…
Oleg can you suggest me a handy manual that can take me through all the aspects of Xbee…Almost everything…

Hi,

I am trying to implement a wireless light switch using two Xbee modules and two pic18f26k20 microcontrollers based on the zigbee wireless protocol. I have looked at configuring the xbee’s using Xctu, but I am having problems figuring out how to create the C codes I will used for the microcontrollers. Please can someone help me out and advice me on how to go about gaining the knowledge to write the code for the microcontrollers to work with the Xbee modules ?

hi Oleg!
thanks…ur help was very significant….But my knowledge on xbee is at scratch level and i’m learning to configure xbees only thro’ e-tutorials and video demos.So i’m still far away to understand ur answer….could u please be more simple like stepwise procedure or like that please…and also how could i use the microcontroller to choose between the 2 xbee end-devices..(i.e. how could the microcontroller tell the co-ordinator xbee to choose from the two xbees)…..i’m a final year engineering student from india and i need ur help on this to complete my project….thanks in advance!

sachein,

In API mode, remote address is specified in every packet so you can define 2 packets and send them to coordinator Xbee as necessary.

Xbee doesn’t care about which MCU talks to it. It will work with 8051 just fine.

Hi…
I’m currently working on a project involving xbee…where i’ll be using a co-ordinator xbee to communicate with 2 end-device xbees….i just want to operate a relay at the output of these 2 end-device xbees….the co-ordinator xbee receives input from a microcontroller…..my doubt is how to configure the co-ordinator xbee’s destination address so that it speaks with either of the xbee end-devices based on the input given to it…..?

hi.. oleg. i am doing my project in xbee with microcontroller 8051. Can you tell me, is it possible to interface. I just transmit and receiving the data, not more than that. If it is possible, then can you tell me how the xbee can interface with microcontroller 8051

Oleg,
Do you have some extra PCBs for this project. If yes, I would be glad to purchase several from you.
I am very interested in using Xbee to expand capabilities of our Free Telephony devices.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi,

Just like Dat Dang, I’m also working on a group project that requires a PIC18 to talk with XBee Series 2 ZB. We will be designing a board so that 1 XBee can control 3 On-Off Plugs (Can this be done?) from a gateway. We’re planning to use API mode. I’m currently stuck at understanding ‘How can an XBee recognize which plug to send an instr to via the PIC?’. Sounds like I need to create a custom .py code. Can you help me with some advice and some leads?
