Thanks for the reply,
so i think i'll take the 2009 board then. In order to connect sensors to the board i would need to solder or use a breadboard right?
And if yes, would i need 6 or can just 1 receiver work for all accelerometers?
You are connecting the accelerometers to the Arduino, not the XBee, aren't you? If so, then you need one XBee with shield per Arduino.
But would i need also one receiver unit on the laptop side per accelerometer?
thank you
