"I am Krish.I am doing my academic project.Title is:---HOME AUTOMATION USING ZIGBEE.
** How can i send the data serially thorugh UART by sending commands to the ZIGBEE(digi's XBEE ZNet 2.5) by using Switches,but not using the PC(computer).**.
Hope to get reply soooooooooooooooon........
Tq.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? if you simply need to have a few wireless switches, then you wouldnt even need an arduino, you can simply hook up your buttons directly to the IO of the XBEE modules! neat huh?
