Hi, If you are reading this I am only asking for some advice. I worked with xbees before and I always used 2 Arduinos and 2 xbees. I know what serial communication is but I have never seen anyone use 2 xbees and 1 Arduino. I can program an xbee but for an example I want my Arduino to turn on an led using an xbee.
Alright now that out the way, I am also an RC car hobbyist and I do know a thing or too about it. I want to attach a xbee to my rc car but how? I am not asking for code I am asking for some advice.
I am pretty sure I need to attach the xbee to the antenna of my rc car then the same thing to the remote.
I am using the latest XCTU version and for my xbees I am using an Xbee Pro 900HP 200K (S3B). Its version is 8075 the latest one. I am sorry about my block diagram skills. I don't usually make block diagrams but here it is. I even went ahead and made a schematic.
Does this particular device support Micropython programming? It's difficult to tell from the Digi documentation which of the many Xbee devices can be controlled this way.
If so, then you can directly program the Xbee in Micropython subject to the limitations of the programming language and hardware pins available. This is all outside of the Arduino environment so you'll be dependent on help from Digi and their forums.
Provide a link to the technical documentation for your RC car controller.
Sorry for the very late reply. The Xbee Pro 900HP 200K is programmable in Micro Python. I never used Python before but According to this article (from Digi) It said that Custom programming can happen in the Freescale MC9S08QE32(CTS). In the Xbee Pro 900HP 200K spec sheet, it has the same Freescale MC9S08QE32 Processor.
