Arduino Xbee shield problem

By yamanoorsai

December 10, 2011

I am trying to communicate between 2 arduinos using 2 xbee shields. I am trying to configure the Xbee shield with PAN ID, address etc. I am using X-CTU utility on a windows 7 64 bit operating system. I am able to configure one of the XBee modules with all the necessary parameters. I am not able to repeat the same for the other module.

XBee interference issues, looking for substitutes

By lex lee

October 6, 2011

Hi all,

I'm building a robot which is currently wirelessly connected via XBee Pro and has an onboard 2.4 GHz pin hole camera.

The problem is that the XBee's signal is often degraded when the camera is working.

I've tried out the codes using a wired connection and all is good.

Thus, I'm looking for a wireless replacement for connecting the robot to the PC. Any suggestions are welcomed :)

Using An Xbee With I-Phone?

By 6677

March 28, 2011

Browsing through sparkfun I found an ipod connector breakout board and a pin-out diagram. It appears to be that the ipod/phone have serial rx and tx pins. It also has the usual ground connectors and a 3.3v supply.

Would these pins be enough to hook up an xbee module?

MY AGV development platform

By arbarnhart

December 31, 2010

I decided to do this as a blog as I plan for this to be a long term test platform as I mess around with different tech along the way.

OK I started by buying this RC truck chassis on eBay:

It uses a 7.2v NiMH battery and powers the motor using an ESC that delivers a few AMPs of 6v through a BEC to power a transceiver and the steering servo. Instead of a transceiver, I am hooking up an Arduino Fio and various components, housing them in a project box:

XBee AT/API Reliability

By lex lee

December 20, 2010

Hi all, I'm trying to control 4 servos with 4 pot via xbee, setup as follows:

Tx: Arduino connected to 4 pots(pins 0-3) & XBee (Series 2.5)

Rx: Arduino connected to 4 servos (pins 5, 6, 10, 11) & XBee (Series 2.5)

The Tx side will map the pot values (0-180) and send them over to Rx.

I've setup the XBees in AT Mode using guibot's tutorial but the order of the 4 values @ the Rx end jumbles up at times.

Hello guys.

I was thinking about buying a few xbees for my lasertag project but since they're a bit costly i wanted to ask you if it fits my project before buying them.

I'll tell you what i want to to: basically lasertag is a game where there are lots of players that "shoot" at each other with IR pulses. What i wanted to add to it is some sort of "hit feedback", something, be it sound or LED, that tells me whether or not i have succesfully hit my target.
