I am doing different experiments using these two Xbee Pro Modules. I was wondering if i can find a relay to these Xbee Pro Modules so that i can increase the range of communication. I know i can buy an Xbee Pro Module which has a range of 1.5miles but the thing is that i need to do some experiments using "No Line of Sight" (Building, Trees etc as hurdles), so i was thinking of using a Relay device inbetween two Xbee Modules so that i can bridge the communication.
all you need is another one and you need to configure it as coordinator
or configure all of them as mesh network (if they are compatible)
you can find a lot of information on digi's forum
Is there any Tutorial available for configuring these 3 Xbee Pro modules?
I want to configure 1 as Coordinator, 1 as Router and 1 as End Device. How can i configure these so that Coordinator can communicate with End Device using Router.
Well i have tried changing my modules to Coordinator, Router and End Device. The problem is, there are options of Coordinator and End Device in XCTU Software but there is no option of setting a module as Router (Relay). What arrangements do i need?
Should i Set one as Coordinator and other 2 as End Devices? Will it suffice the purpose?
Let me rephrase my needs again.
I want to send some data from Coordinator to Router, then Router sends the same data to End Device. The End Device after doing some calculations, sends the Data to Router and Router sends the same data to Coordinator. So basically Router is just a range extender working as a bridge between Coordinator and End Device.
i would try first setting one as Coordinator and other 2 as End Devices
and if that doesn't work i would try changing the firmware to digimash
and set a mesh network between all the three
Yes PANID is same for all the module, not too sure if i have to use API mode or not as i have done some research and lots of people are having problem with API mode, as they say AT works far better.
