Arduino + xBee Modules

Hello all,

Can I use the xBee wireless transceivers to communicate between two arduinos? What I want to do is have an arduino transmit debugging information to another arduino equipped with an LCD display. Is this possible? If so, can someone point me in the right direction of where I might find an example, tutorial, etc.?

Thank you in advance for your response.

I too am interested in hooking up 2 arduinos wirelessly. Is this possible with the Xeebee / bluetooth / RF?

it's really not hard with XBee. I like adafruit's Xbee adapter - just need 4 pins - pwr, grd, tx, rx

to xmit, just send a string to the serial port. to recv, read the serial port.

I also offer a very easy to use Xbee USB adapter: the XeeBee.

Stick it into the USB connector of your PC, start up a communication app, that way you can test the communication before you fit your Arduino with an Xbee shield.
